For two weeks the Hyökyaalto -network (Rising Tide Finland, that is) and Friends of the Earth -NGO kept up an excessively active period of themed and program filled protest camping at Pyhäjoki protest camp site. This workshop- and direct action filled period ended on 21st of June, but as Fennovoima still continues to destroy the Hanhikivi peninsula’s nature, the struggle continues – now more fierce than ever and perhaps even more needed than before!
To emphasize the fact that the protest camp is moving nowhere and enviromental activist engaged in this struggle are as determined as ever, the protesters connected to the cause blocked a digger working at the construction site, on location that’s working to erect the fence that aims to close the entire power plant area from any parts of wider audiences. After approximately one hour of blocking one activist was removed from the machine by the law enforcement and taken into custody.
