Censorship: Secret document about european nuclear reactor EPR
This tuesday, Stephane Lhomme, a french anti nuclear activist, has been arested for 14 hours because he has published a document about the new european nuclear reactor type EPR.In France, there is a law that confidential information about nuclear plants is kept as a military secret. This has been established some years ago to prevent activists from publishing the timetable of nuclear transports because of the protest against them. It's purpose is obviously not to secure anything, but to censor activities against nuclear power.
Réseau »Sortir du nucléaire« (network of french anti nuclear groups) and other organizations are now calling to spread this document.
