| Tribute to Sir peace |
Professor Rotblat |
FRIENDS and colleagues held a minute’s silence at a full
meeting of Camden Council in memory of nobel peace laureate and
freeman of Camden Professor Joseph Rotblat who died recently.
Leader of the council, Jane Roberts told members of the tremendous
contribution their lost friend had made to international nuclear
disarmament.
She said: “Professor Sir Joseph Rotblat was a remarkable pioneer
in the nuclear peace process.
“He accorded us the great honour of his acceptance to become
the first free man of Camden.”
Describing him as a ‘citizen of the world’ Cllr Roberts
told members of his ‘passion for the betterment of humankind’.
She added: “He was wholly committed to ridding the world of
nuclear weapons. He was remarkably unassuming, a modest man,
“We shall miss him but we thank him for the association we
had with him.” |
