COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The Air Force detained three women suspected of trespassing onto Peterson Air Force Base during a war protest.

Military personnel on Friday stopped Sister Barbara Huber of Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati, Sister Mary Ann Cunningham of the Sisters of Loretto in Denver, and Esther Kisamore of Colorado Springs as the women tried to deliver a letter to an Air Force general.

The three were later released.

They were detained during the seventh annual Sisters Witness Against War event at the north gate of the base. About 45 people participated.
