IDPD condemns police repression in Koodankulam

Ludhiana, September 12, 2012: The Indian Doctors for Peace and Development (IDPD) has condemned police repression on the peaceful people agitating against the nuclear power plant in Koodankulam (Tamil Nadu).

“In our democratic country every citizen/ group has the right to express views openly”, said the IDPD in statement here today, adding, “Peaceful agitators are raising their voice against the nuclear plant. The Fukushima experience has proved that these plants can be a potential threat to the human health only but all the flora and fauna around. We demand immediate cessation of loading of the plant with uranium and withdrawal of police forces from the area.”
