On the eve of the US mid-term election, anti-war demonstrations broke out outside the British military base

The US midterm elections will be held on the 3rd, but before the election, protests broke out outside the entrance of RAF Lakenheath, a base used by the US Air Force. Protesters who claim to oppose U.S. and Israeli military operations in the Middle East have used heavy locks to fasten themselves to cars or lock themselves with other protesters.

According to reports from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and "Stars and Stripes", the Royal Air Force Lakenheath base is located in Suffolk, England. The protest group "No More Bloody Wars" began arriving at the base at about 6:30 a.m. on the 2nd to protest against the Iran war and Israel's military operations in Gaza.

No More Bloody Wars also calls on the British government to close US military bases in the UK to eliminate what they see as Britain's "complicity" in conflicts in the Middle East.

British police received notification that a small protest took place outside Royal Air Force Base Lakenheath (RAF Lakenheath), and subsequently arrested 10 people on suspicion of disturbing public order or other illegal conduct. Human rights lawyer Margaret Owen, 94, was released on bail, while nine others were detained and questioned.

Owen said she has been speaking out for Palestinians and participating in protests for years. She was arrested just last week for participating in a pro-Palestinian demonstration outside the US Embassy in London.

The British Ministry of Defense claimed that the US military should respond to the protests on the 2nd. The US Air Force said in a statement that it was coordinating closely with the British Ministry of Defense Police and Suffolk County Police to ensure security in the area. All operations at RAF Lakenheath continue as usual, and all personnel who have been approved to enter the base can still pass normally.
