Anti-nuclear protesters form 75-mile long human chain

Opponents of nuclear power formed a 120-km (75-mile) human chain between reactor sites in Germany Saturday to protest against government plans to extend the power plants' operation. Around 120,000 peaceful demonstrators, according to police and organizers, linked arms in a chain running between the northern towns of Brunsbuettel and Kruemmel that passed through the city of Hamburg. The rally signalled popular opposition to government plans to issue license extensions for Germany's nuclear plants rather than phase them out as originally intended. (Photo: Jakob Huber:Campact).
