Chinese Learning Course – Antinuclear Demonstration

Chinese Learning Course – Antinuclear Demonstration

Police fired tear gas and arrested more than 5,000 passively resisting protestors Friday in an attempt to break up the largest antinuclear demonstration ever staged in the United States. More than 135,000 demonstrators confronted police on the construction site of a 1,000-megawatt nuclear power plant scheduled to provide power to most of southern New Hampshire. Organizers of the huge demonstration said, the protest was continuing despite the police actions. More demonstrators were arriving to keep up the pressure on state authorities to cancel the project. The demonstrator had charged that the project was unsafe in the densely populated area, would create thermal pollution in the bay, and had no acceptable means for disposing of its radioactive wasters. The demonstrations would go on until the jails and the courts were so overloaded that the state judicial system would collapse.
Governor Stanforth Thumper insisted that there would be no reconsideration of the power project and no delay in its construction set for completion in three years. “This project will begin on time and the people of this state will begin to receive its benefits on schedule. Those who break the law in misguided attempts to sabotage the project will be dealt with according to the law,” he said. And police called in reinforcements from all over the state to handle the disturbances.
The protests began before dawn Friday when several thousand demonstrators broke through police lines around the cordoned-off construction site. They carried placards that read “No Nukes is Good Nukes,” “Sunpower, Not Nuclear Power,” and “Stop Private Profits from Public Peril.” They defied police order to move from the area. Tear gas canisters fired by police failed to dislodge the protestors who had come prepared with their own gas masks or facecloths. Finally gas-masked and helmeted police charged into the crowd to drag off the demonstrators one by one. The protestors did not resist police, but refused to walk away under their own power. Those arrested would be charged with unlawful assembly, trespassing, and disturbing the peace.

警方發射催淚瓦斯,試圖打破了以往在美國上演的最大的反核示威被捕,5000多個被動抵制示威者星期五。超過13.5萬名示威者面臨的一個1000兆瓦的核電計劃提供電源新罕布什爾州南部的大部分工廠的施工現場的警察。龐大的示威組織者說,儘管警方的行動繼續抗議。更多的示威者抵達保持對國家機關的壓力,取消該項目。已收取的示威者,該項目是在人口稠密地區的不安全,會造成熱污染海灣,並沒有可接受的方式處置放射性浪費。示威活動將繼續,直到監獄和法院重載國家司法體系將會崩潰。
總督Stanforth桑普堅持會有無复議和電源項目在三年內沒有完成建設集延遲。 “這個項目將開始時間和這個國家的人民將如期開始接受它的好處。那些誰違反法律誤導企圖破壞項目將被依法處理,“他說。和警察叫過來處理騷亂的狀態,在所有增援。
星期五的抗議活動開始之前,黎明時,數千名示威者爆發的封鎖施工現場周圍的警察線。他們攜帶的標語牌,上面寫著“無核武器是良好的核武器”,“SunPower公司,不核電”和“停止從公共危險的私人利潤。”他們無視警方為了從該地區移動。警察發射的催淚瓦斯罐失敗驅逐示威者來到自己的氣口罩或facecloths的準備。最後氣蒙面和頭盔的警察衝進人群拖離示威者一個接一個。示威者沒有抵抗警察,但拒絕走在遠離自己的力量。被捕人士將被控以非法集會,侵入,破壞和平。
