Subject: Airport munitions transit query.

Celtic League Secretary-General, Rhisiart tal-e-Bot, has followed up his calls to the Irish Government to end the use of airport facilities in Ireland for military activity which is stoking Middle East violence with a similar query to the Scottish authorities see below:

"Stewart Stevenson MSP
The Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Climate Change
The Scottish Parliament
Edinburgh
EH99 ISP.

Dear Minister Stewart Stevenson MSP

Use of Prestwick Airport by US military.

Following our previous letter to Tavish Scott, ex scottish Transport Minister and copied to Douglas Alexander, Secretary of State for Transport, Infrastructure and Climate Change on the use of Prestwick Airport as a transit point for arms shipments to the Israeli Defence Forces.

In addition we would also like to know what your position is on the use of Prestwick Airport as a stopover airport for flights to the US in it's transportation of terrorist suspects over the last few years.
Will the new Scottish Executive be calling for an enquiry to establish if the actions of those in the United Kingdom who authorise or facilitate the shipments are guilty of crimes under International law?

We look forward to hearing from you and I would lke to wish you good luck and success in your new appointment.

Yours sincerely

Rhisiart Tal-e-bot"
