Agence France Presse: Germans form chain in nuclear protest

Apr 25, 2010 at 10:31
AFP:Tens of thousands of Germans have joined hands to form a human chain to protest against nuclear energy, two days before the 24th anniversary of the worst nuclear accident at Chernobyl in Ukraine.

"The chain is almost complete," a police spokeswoman in the northern German region of Schleswig-Holstein told AFP.

She estimated that more than 100,000 people took part on Saturday in the human chain which stretched for 120 kilometres (75 miles) along the Elbe river through the port city of Hamburg. Organisers put the turnout at more than 120,000. For more on the story, please click here
