LIVERMORE -- Sixty-two adults and two juveniles were arrested Friday morning at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory during the annual Good Friday nuclear weapons protest.
About 220 people, including 10 children and one hula dancer, participated in the peaceful march down Vasco Road from the Patterson Pass Road intersection to the lab's east gate entrance.
Rev. Michael Yoshii of Buena Vista United Methodist Church in Alameda led a prayer service before the procession to the lab.
The tradition of sunrise Good Friday protests began at the lab in 1981.
Each Good Friday, several hundred people from secular and religious groups gather at the lab gates to hear speeches and to pray for peace.
