A Hundred Protestors Demand the Immediate Scrapping of all Nuclear Power
Yesterday three months after the Japanese earthquake which triggered a nuclear disaster in Fukushima, there were anti-nuclear marches around the world. In Hong Kong there was a march as well, with one hundred protesters. They first assembled in Tsim Sha Tsui to mourn the dead, and then marched at three o’clock. When passing by the post office a representative, on behalf of the alliance Anti-Nuke, posted two letters to Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan respectively, asking them to support the abolition of nuclear power and a nuclear-free zone in Asia.
The protesters first assembled in Tsim Sha Tsui .
They eventually marched to the head office of the China Light and Power which is an equity holder of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant. The protestors demanded its nuclear power plants be stopped immediately. The representative read out a declaration, demanding that all nuclear power plants be shut down immediately.

Guangdong now has six nuclear power plants and the province plans to build thirty two more. Nationally the Chinese government is planning to build 240 nuclear power plants by 2030. As anti-nuclear protestors pointed out, the event of an accident in the densely populated Pearl River Delta will be a great catastrophe for people and the environment. That is why the people need to stand against it.
