Anti-nuclear activists prepare for week of protests (2014/04/21)

Former DPP Chairman Lin Yi-hsiung is just one day from beginning a fast to protest continued construction of the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant. Lin’s protest will be just one of many in the coming days by anti-nuclear activists. 

Lin Yi-hsiung’s fast is soon approaching. Dozens of NGOs are working to support his anti-nuclear cause with a mass demonstration on Ketagalan Boulevard.

We will take turns, with individuals undergoing 24-hour fasts. Each day at least four members of our group will participate.

Dozens of NGOs are seeking one million signatures on a petition to stop work at the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant and are holding a yellow-ribbon activity for households to represent their opposition to nuclear power. They say if the government continues to ignore their demands, protests will become more intense.

Green Citizens' Action Alliance
We give the government until April 24. If there is no positive response, we will announce occupation of Ketagalan Boulevard beginning April 26. We will surround the Presidential Office with a mass protest.

Anti-nuclear groups have also planned a road race to take place on Saturday, regardless of President Ma’s response to their demands.

廢核四凱道

繼林義雄宣布,明日展開禁食後,「廢核行動平台」也著手串連北中南民間團體,要讓反核聲浪遍地烽火。廢核平台揚言,週四前,要是馬總統沒積極回應民意訴求,週六參加完「終結核四路跑」後,不排除進駐凱道、包圍總統府。

林義雄無限期禁食在即,數十個民間團體,齊聚府前凱道,隔空聲援林義雄,訴求廢核。

[[台灣環保聯盟秘書長 董建宏]]
“我們也會每天都有輪流,有人來進行24小時禁食活動,每天會有四個成員”

數十個公民團體發起「百萬聯署停建核四」,與「家戶懸掛黃絲帶行動」,更揚言政府若是再漠視反核民意,抗議作為可能更激烈。 

[[綠色公民行動聯盟秘書長 崔愫欣]]
“如果政府在4月24日之前,沒有積極回應的話,我們就會宣布,4月26日開始,我們就要進駐凱道,做包圍總統府的集會遊行”

無論馬總統有沒有作出正面回應,4月26日週六上午,反核團體發起的「終結核四路跑」還是會如期從府前凱道前起跑。
