Greenpeace activists protest against US radar

Czech members of Greenpeace on Monday occupied grounds in the Brdy military zone southwest of Prague where a US tracking radar is to be installed. Some 20 activists have put up tents at the site in protest against the planned stationing of the radar on Czech soil. According to the Greenpeace spokesperson they plan to stay there “as long as possible”. The activists have not been given an entrance permit by the military. Greenpeace members will provide more information on their anti-radar campaign at a news conference scheduled to take place on Monday.
