London, UK. 9th December 2017. Peace campaigner Reverend Sister Yoshie Maruta shakes hands with another campaigner as they celebrate the award of the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize to ICAN, the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, for its role in pushing for a United Nations global nuclear ban treaty which has been supported by 122 countries with an awards ceremony and die-in outside the Ministry of Defence. The prize is to be presented in Oslo tomorrow. The UK refused to take part in the treaty negotiations and is refusing to sign the treaty, but the protesters urged it so sign up and to scrap Trident replacement. The event was organised by ICAN UK and two of ICAN's partner organisations in the UK, CND and Medact, and included speakers from these and another ICAN partner, WILPF, the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, and a mock Nobel Prize was handed over by to ICAN UK by Bruce Kent, who also presented many small chocolate 'Nobels' to those at the event.
