twitter250 turn out for final day of nuclear protest
Monday, April 13, 1998 | 2:01 a.m.
Members of the Shundahai Network began the protest Friday morning.
On Easter Sunday, 91 participants were cited for simple trespass when they stepped across a line at the entrance to the sprawling facility, 65 miles northwest of Las Vegas. One of the participants was also cited for resisting arrest.
Derrek Scammell, an Energy Department spokesman, said there were no citations issued Saturday or Monday.
The anti-nuclear protesters were joined by members of the Western Shoshone Indian Tribe, which contends the test site land belongs to the tribe.
The Easter weekend protests have been conducted for years. At one point, while the United States was still testing nuclear weapons at the desert site, the number of protesters would run in the thousands, with arrests in the hundreds.
