Carrying out a tradition that began 20 years ago, the faith-based Nevada Desert Experience staged its annual Good Friday protest at the Nevada Test Site, where 31 people were issued citations for trespassing.

A National Nuclear Security Administration spokesman said they were among 40 demonstrators who had gathered about noon near the Mercury entrance to the test site, 65 miles northwest of Las Vegas, to participate in a nonviolent protest against the nation's continued stake in nuclear weapons research.

The spokesman, Kevin Rohrer, said the 31 were cited and released by Nye County sheriff's deputies.

"We expect an additional protest on Sunday," Rohrer said.
