Climate activists in front of Danish Embassy in Brussels

August 29th, 2010

From De wereld van morgen (The world of tomorrow)

Brussel — Enkele tientallen activisten protesteerden woensdag voor de Deense ambassade in Brussel. Ze eisen de onmiddellijke stopzetting van de juridische vervolging van zeven klimaatactivisten. De zeven activisten namen deel aan acties tijdens de Klimaattop in Kopenhagen afgelopen december. Volgens de actievoerders is deze vervolging een criminalisering van de milieubeweging.

Groenfront and Stop-AWACS campaign at the forests of Schinveld

The Association STOP awacs is a dutch organisation of about 450 local members from eastern South-Limburg that fights against the noise nuisance caused by AWACS surveillance aircraft.
