Austrian anti-nuclear activists to block border crossings on Friday

Anti-nuclear activists from neighbouring Austria have announced they will again stage blockages at 12 out of the 16 border crossings between the Czech Republic and Austria on Friday afternoon. The last such protests took place two weeks ago when the activists blocked 10 border crossings. The protesters want the Austrian government to file an international lawsuit against the Czech Republic over an alleged breach of agreements on the safety of the Czech nuclear power station Temelin.
