ANKARA, Turkey: Greenpeace says Turkish police have detained 37 activists during a peaceful protest against the bidding process for the construction of the country’s first nuclear power plant.
Korol Diker of Greenpeace says the police broke up the unauthorized protest in front of Turkey’s energy ministry and detained the protesters.
Tuesday’s protest comes a day before the deadline for construction bids for a nuclear power plant on the Mediterranean coast. Turkey also plans to build a second nuclear plant later near the Black Sea port city of Sinop.
Diker says the protesters were dressed in black and posed as dead bodies on the ground to highlight the dangers of nuclear power plants
