Anti-Temelin hunger strike to activate hunger strike chain-reaction
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday saw the end of a five-day hunger strike held by a dozen
anti-nuclear activists who were protesting against the controversial
Temelin nuclear power plant in south Bohemia. The strike, which could
be monitored on the internet via webcam, took place in a wooden
container on the main square of the Upper Austrian town of Freistadt.
According to its organisers, some two hundred activists have already
volunteered to continue with the hunger strike in various parts of
Austria. Members of the organisation Stop Temelin, who have in the past
organised protest demonstrations and border blockades in opposition to
the power plant, now hope to have activated a chain-reaction of hunger strikes.
============================================
......hmmm -- wonder whether "the hunger strike in various parts of Austria" will include the Alps town of Kaprun, where a little over two years ago, more than 160 people died in the mountain railway fire disaster [on Saturday Nov. 11, 2000].

PS. Franz, please take this as nothing more than a bulletin on antinuke antics -- its not intended to offend you personally or Austria in general.
Some of us like to keep tabs on what the opposition does or doesn't do :-)
I have not received complaints from anyone else, so I can only assume that no-one else was, in fact, offended.
Best wishes for 2003.
