Belarusian anti-nuclear activists not let to Lithuania
Two Belarusian anti-nuclear activists
Mikalai Ulasievich and Tatsiana Novikava were prohibited to enter Lithuania,
their visas were terminated, RFE/RL informs.
The activists were travelling to attend a conference on nuclear safety in
Lithuania.
Mr. Ulasevich says they were held by customs officers
for six hours. Even a member of the Lithuanian parliament (Seimas) arrived at
border to solve the matter.
Mikalai Ulasevich considers that influential advocates of a nuclear power
plant (NPP) construction in Lithuania are at the bottom of not letting them in
Lithuania as both he and Ms. Novikava were intending to deliver speeches
against using nuclear energy around the world.
The referendum on building a NPP is to be held in Lithuania this October.
