Kampen mod atomkraft har i mange år været særdeles virkelig for vores finske kammerater.
Fra et land, hvor 1/5 af al energy produceres med atomkraft, og hvis skiftende regeringer har
kunnet enes om, at atomkraft skal udbygges, kommer et råb om solidaritet med modige aktivister,
der i årevis har kæmpet på alle planer, og af hvem 5 nu sulterstrejker i protest mod den fortsatte
ekspansion, firmaet Fennovoima og myndighederne:
Call for solidarity for hungerstrikers in Pyhäjoki, Finland!
Anti-nuclear struggle continues in Pyhäjoki, Finland. The Hanhikivi
anti-nuclear camp was almost evicted last week, 15th of September. But
the cops left one person in a tree hut. Some people started a new camp
just next to the construction site, in a cottage which had been a second
base of the camp until now. Isolating the person in a tree led to hunger
strike of 5 people.
Fennovoima company doesn't allow activists to bring vital supplies to
the person in the tree. He has been out of food since saturday 19th of
September. In this situation he started a hunger strike demanding to get
food, more warm clothes, needed supplies, etc. Monday 21th, 4 more
people started a solidarity hunger strike with the same demands. Three
of the support strikers are camping next to the Fennovoima office in
Pyhäjoki centrum and one is in Helsinki.
The order to deny all entry to the area is given by the Fennovoima's
construction manager Jouni Sipiläinen and the Oulu police head is loyal
to their friend, despite the fact, that actually there doesn't exist
legal prohibition of trespassing at the area yet.
We, supporters of the hungerstrikers are really concerned especially
about the condition of the person protesting in a treehut. The person
has stayed there one week. The weather is cold, rainy and windy,
situation in the area is very stressful because of big amount of private
security guards, who don't let supporters inside the area. Situation of
the protester is hard.
We strongly ask you for solidarity actions and sharing of information!
