The acting veteran Martin Sheen has been “cited” by law officials in the US State of Nevada after being linked with an anti-nuclear demonstration at a test location there. The Apocalypse Now actor was among 39 peace activists handed citations after they crossed onto the Nevada Test Site, near Las Vegas, yesterday. 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."
