MARTIN SHEEN - SHEEN CITED FOR ANTI-NUCLEAR PROTEST

Hollywood star MARTIN SHEEN has been cited by Nevada sheriff's deputies after joining an anti-nuclear protest at a test site in the US state. The APOCALYPSE NOW actor was among 39 peace activists handed citations after they crossed onto the Nevada Test Site, near Las Vegas, yesterday (1APR07). Sheen, who has been cited in the past for similar offences at the same test site, was released following his brush with the law. Protest organiser MING LAU explains the group's presence in Nevada, "We are asking for nuclear disarmament and peace. We are asking for the Nevada Test Site to stop doing the testing they're doing. The only reason they're doing it is to make bombs."
