Chigamulo Chowononga Zida za Nuclear Weapons Chachotsedwa - Khothi Likuti Chigamulo cha Jury Sichinali Chanzeru

Ndi John LaForge

Bwalo la Apilo lasiya zigamulo zowononga anthu omenyera mtendere, a Greg-Boertje-Obed, a ku Duluth, Min., ndi omwe akumuyikira kumbuyo Michael Walli waku Washington, DC, ndi Sr. Megan Rice waku New York City. The 6^th Khothi Lalikulu la Apilo lidapeza kuti oimira boma adalephera kutsimikizira - komanso kuti "palibe woweruza woganiza bwino" - kuti atatuwa adafuna kuwononga "chitetezo cha dziko."

Mu July 2012, Greg, Michael ndi Megan anadutsa mipanda inayi ndikuyenda mpaka ku "Fort Knox" ya uranium ya zida zankhondo, Malo Opangira Zida Zapamwamba za Uranium mkati mwa Y-12 complex ku Oak Ridge, Tenn. imayika "H" m'mabomba athu a H. Ndi maola atatu asanawonekere, othetsa zida za nyukiliya adajambula "Tsoka kwa Ufumu wa Magazi" ndi mawu ena pamagulu angapo, zikwangwani zokhomedwa, ndikukondwerera mwayi wawo wogwira zida za nyukiliya zikugona pa gudumu. Mlonda atakumana nawo, anam'patsa mkate.

Iwo anapezeka olakwa mu May 2013 pa mlandu wowononga katundu ndi kusakaza ndipo akhala m’ndende kuyambira nthawi imeneyo. Boertji-Obed, 59, ndi Walli, 66, onse adaweruzidwa kuti akhale miyezi 62 ​​pamlandu uliwonse, kuti azithamanga nthawi imodzi; ndipo Sr. Megan, yemwe ali ndi zaka 82, anapatsidwa miyezi 35 pa chiwerengero chilichonse, amathamanganso nthawi imodzi.

Mafunso okhudza malamulo a zida za nyukiliya sanali odandaula, koma nkhani yakuti Sabotage Act ikugwira ntchito kwa otsutsa mtendere omwe sawononga zida. Pamene apiloyo ankakangana pakamwa, woimira boma pamilanduyo anaumirira kuti akuluakulu atatuwo “asokoneza chitetezo.” Woweruza dera Raymond Kethledge anafunsa mosapita m’mbali kuti, “Ndi buledi wa mkate?”

Lingaliro lolembedwa la Khothi, lomwenso ndi Woweruza Kethledge, lidanyoza lingaliro lowonetsa ochita ziwonetsero mwamtendere ngati owononga, akuti. "Sikokwanira kuti boma lilankhule za mipanda yodulidwa ..." Boma liyenera kutsimikizira kuti zomwe wozengedwayo "adachitazo zinali zotsimikizika kapena zotsimikizika" kusokoneza "kuthekera kwa dziko kumenya nkhondo kapena kudziteteza kunkhondo." Greg, Megan ndi Michael, khotilo linati, “sanachite zimenezo,” motero, “boma silinapereke umboni woti oimbidwa mlanduwo ndi wolakwa.” Lingalirolo lidafika pakunena kuti, "Palibe oweruza oganiza bwino omwe angapeze kuti oimbidwa mlanduwo anali ndi cholinga chimenecho atadula mipanda." Mfundoyi ndi yosagwirizana modabwitsa ndi tanthauzo lachindunji lakufikira kwa osuma mlandu komanso kusokoneza oweruza.

Chifukwa china chomwe Khothi la Apilo lidasiya chigamulo chophwanya malamulowo chinali chakuti tanthauzo lalamulo la Khothi Lalikulu la "chitetezo cha dziko" silikudziwika bwino komanso losamveka, "lingaliro lodziwika bwino la matanthauzo ambiri ..." Khothi lidati likufunika kutanthauzira "kotsimikizika" chifukwa, "chosamveka bwino. zikhulupiriro zokhudzana ndi 'ntchito yofunika kwambiri pachitetezo cha dziko' sikokwanira kuti munthu wozengedwa mlandu awononge. Ndipo ndizo zonse zomwe boma likupereka pano. " Tanthauzoli linali lachirengedwe komanso losamveka bwino, Khothi linanena, kotero kuti silikugwiranso ntchito ku Sabotage Act, popeza, "Ndizovuta kudziwa zomwe zikufanana ndi 'kusokoneza' lingaliro la 'generic'."

Kubwezeranso chilango kungapangitse "nthawi yogwiritsidwa ntchito" ndikumasulidwa

Khotilo lidatenga gawo lowonjezera komanso losazolowereka lakuchotsa zigamulo zandende chifukwa chowononga komanso kuwonongaperty kukhudzika, ngakhale kukhudzika kwakung'ono kukadalipo. Izi zinali chifukwa chakuti milandu yowawa yoperekedwa kundende yowononga katundu inali yolemetsa kwambiri chifukwa cha chigamulo chowononga (chopanda chinyengo). Chotsatira chake ndi chakuti anthu atatu olimbana ndi nkhondoyi adzaweruzidwanso ndipo akhoza kumasulidwa. Monga momwe Bwalo la Apilo linanenera kuti: “Zikuwoneka kuti [chigamulo] . . .

Ngati wozenga mlandu wa feduro satsutsa kusinthidwa kwa changu chake, ndipo khoti lina lalikulu silisintha 6.^th Chisankho cha Circuit, atatuwa atha kumasulidwa mu Julayi kapena posachedwa.

Kuchuluka kwa kuchuluka kwa uranium ku Oak Ridge, komanso kusatetezeka kwa malowa kwa anthu akuluakulu, zidabweretsa chidwi chachikulu pamlanduwu, womwe wawonetsedwa pakufufuza kwanthawi yayitali ndi Washington Post, The New Yorker ndi ena. Izi, zomwe zimadziwika kuti "Transformation Now Plowshares," zidathandiziranso kuwulula zachipongwe komanso chinyengo pakati pa makontrakitala achitetezo ku Y-12/Oak Ridge complex. Mosakayikira komanso modabwitsa, omenyera nkhondo awa adalimbitsa chitetezo cha dzikolo.

Chomwe sichinawonongeke ndi dongosolo la White House logwiritsa ntchito $ 1 thililiyoni pa malo opangira zida zatsopano pazaka 30 zikubwerazi - $ 35 biliyoni pachaka kwa zaka makumi atatu. Udindo wa Malo Opangira Zida Zapamwamba za Uranium pakupanga Mabomba awa - kuphwanya momveka bwino Pangano la Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty - adatchulidwa ndi magazi ndi zochita za Plowshares, koma bizinesi ya bomba la H-bomba ikupitabe. Otsutsa adzasonkhananso pamalowa Aug. 6.

Kuti mudziwe zambiri pa Y-12 komanso kupanga zida, onani Oak Ridge Environmental Peace Alliance, OREPA.org.

- John LaForge amagwira ntchito ku Nukewatch, gulu loyang'anira zida za nyukiliya ku Wisconsin, amasintha kalatayi ya Quarterly, ndipo amaphatikizidwa PeaceVoice.
