Former DPP Chairman Lin Yi-hsiung begins fast to scrap nuclear power plant (2014/04/22)

Former DPP Chairman Lin Yi-hsiung has begun a fast to demand the government scrap work on the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant. Supporters and anti-nuclear activists are rallying around Lin, who has long been opposed to nuclear power.

Lin Yi-hsiung
Former DPP Chairman
I believe that I am doing something very meaningful which may be beneficial to Taiwan. I feel very calm.

Lin appeared wearing a bamboo hat. He chose to start his fast at the Gikong Church, a location that 20 years ago saw his mother and twin daughters murdered by unknown assailants. Lin hopes his fast will convince people to not only scrap nuclear power but also take a closer look at those in power.

Lin Yi-hsiung
Former DPP Chairman
I did not choose to harm my own body. It was the choice of those in power who want to complete the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant. If I don’t survive, I would like my friends and family to understand that it was those in power who killed me.

Lin says his sacrifice represents his continued opposition to nuclear power. He rejects the government’s position that without safety assurances, the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant won’t be completed.

Lin Yi-hsiung
Former DPP Chairman
Nuclear safety is a gimmick so they can complete construction. If there is a natural disaster, a sudden change of the ground or even human negligence then irreparable harm could occur.

Today many of the faithful from Gikong Church turned out to encourage Lin. A small space was sectioned off for Lin to maintain some privacy during his ordeal.

林義雄絕食

前民進黨主席林義雄，為訴求停建核四，今天正式展開無限期禁食。地點選在，昔日發生林宅血案的事發地-義光教會。面對眾多支持者到場力挺，林義雄心情平靜，要親友了解，萬一禁食發生不幸，殘害他元兇，就是堅持蓋核電廠的掌權者，更批評核安是騙人的把戲。

“做一件非常有意義，對台灣可能會有好處的事情，我的心情相當平靜”

頭戴苦行斗笠，前民進黨主席林義雄，選在義光教會展開禁食，這裡曾是他20年前，反核禁食地點，更是林宅血案發生地，林義雄要傳達的，不只是廢核訴求，還有更深一層對掌權者的期盼。

[[前民進黨主席林義雄]]
“殘害我身體的，不是我自己，是那些一定要在台灣蓋核四廠的掌權者，如果我發生不幸，我希望我的親友都可以了解，是他們殺害了我”

即便犧牲自我，也要反核到底，就算政府拋出「沒核安就沒核四的」立場，林義雄堅信，核電沒有安全可言。

[[前民進黨主席林義雄]]
“所謂核安根本就是騙人的把戲，蓋好以後核安檢查過後，如果發生天災地變
或者人為疏忽，那就可能發生不可彌補的傷害”

義光教會的教友們，也替他隔出一個3坪大的空間，必要時能保有隱私。
