h5.April 26th 2007 : International Day of symbolic action
21st anniversary of the catastrophe at Chernobyl and the start of an indefinite demonstration in front of the W.H.O. (World Health Organization) building in Geneva, Switzerland.
Suggested action :
Demonstrate in front of your local town hall or Health Ministry (for capital cities), either during the evening or day of April 26th 2007 with :
- 21 flaming torches symbolizing 21 years and the light that needs to be cast over the Chernobyl affair - + 2 placards / banners carrying either of the following slogans :
Slogan 1 :
CHERNOBYL: 21 YEARS OF LIES FROM THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION
Slogan 2 :
INDEPENDENT WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION NOW !
The demonstrations need only a few people at each if you have some kind of structure to hold the torches. The aim of these actions is to both commemorate the 21 years since Chernobyl, and to draw attention to the start of the permanent demonstration outside the W.H.O. building in Geneva starting that day. More information and a support petition are below.
Please let us know what kind of action you can organize; if possible write a short report after the event, with photos.
