Aktie tegen doodsbedreigingen aktiviste
Stichting Laka - 08.03.2005 09:41

vandaag begint Greenpeace een internationale campagne tegen de
doodsbedreigingen die de Bulgaarse anti-kernenergie aktiviste Albena
Simeonova ontvangt Zij strijd al jaren tegen kernenergie en de laatste tijd is ze het onderwerp van serieus te nemen bedreigingen.


Bulgarije is bezig met de bouw van kerncentrales in Belene. Albena is daar aktief tegen en de bedreigingen komen de laatste tijd van mensen betrokken bij bedrijven die orders hopen te krijgen voor de bouw. Bedrijven die in verband worden gebracht met georganiseerde misdaad.
Daarom ook, en ook omdat ze zich blijkbaar zo zeker voelen dat ze niet
eens meer anoniem bedreigingen uiten, wordt het zeer serieus genomen.
Albena is ondergedoken en Greenpeace zoekt zo veel mogelijk publiciteit
rond deze zaak.
Hier onder het persbericht van Greenpeace.

Greenpeace activist threatened with death

Vienna, 8 March 2005 - Greenpeace activist and leading nuclear opponent in
Bulgaria, Albena Simeonova, has received threats on her life due to her
public opposition to the construction of a nuclear power plant in Belene,
north of the country. The environmental organisation, supported by other
groups (1), calls on the Bulgarian Government to secure her safety and
prevent these threats to happen again.

Simeonova,40,who is portrayed as an obstacle by the nuclear industry's
interests, started to receive anonymous calls at the end of 2004. On
February 23rd, two men showed up at her house door issuing death threats
if she refused to stop her resistance against plans to build the nuclear
power plant in Belene. The men also warned her to leave the region of
Nikopol, her homeland.

"This is not only a serious threat against my life, it represents a
threat to all who campaign against nuclear plants trying to protect
their lives and the local environment," said Simeonova, who won the
Goldman Award, dubbed as the Nobel Prize for the Environment, in 1996.

Simeonova is one of the leaders of a strong movement in Bulgaria that
stopped plans for the construction of a nuclear power station near Belene
in the early 1990s. The building plans were revived in 2003, and she was
one of the first people to ask attention for the problems the project
would create. She alerted national and international organisations on the
upcoming plans and since has been one of the motors behind resistance
against Belene.

"We are shocked to hear that her life is threatened due to her
opposition to this nuclear project. She is a pioneer for a clean
environment in Bulgaria. Belene is the real threat, not Albena
Simeonova. This plant is completely unnecessary for Bulgaria and for the
region," says Jan Haverkamp from Greenpeace International

Bulgaria has one of the largest renewable energy resources in the
European Union, with massive potentials for wind energy, as well as
geothermal and hydropower. With its large agricultural sector, Bulgaria
could cover a significant part of its energy needs with renewable energy.
These clean energy sources are economic, abundant, create thousands of
jobs and pose no threat to human life and the environment.

Greenpeace opposes the construction of the Belene reactors and demands the
Bulgarian Government to stop the production of nuclear power. They will
generate highly radioactive waste and put the Bulgarian and European
population at risk.

Greenpeace is an independent campaigning organisation that uses
non-violent, creative confrontation to expose global environmental
problems and to force solutions that are essential to a green and
peaceful future.
