Chernobyl Way-2013 will be dated for the 27th anniversary of the tragedy at Chernobyl NPP. Minsk City Executive Committee has allowed the action and meeting. The organizers will use the Freedom Day itinerary “not to confuse people”. The manifestation will begin near the cinema October at 6.30 p.m. and finish in Bangalore Square.
The Green tried to depoliticize the event and make it ecological two weeks before the manifestation. They said that it could attract more people. However, this year’s Chernobyl Way will use its usual format.
Money for children suffering from cancer will be raised during Chernobyl Way. The money will be sent to a hospital.
Interestingly, the steering committee of Chernobyl Way will not be dissolved after the meeting. It will help struggle with the construction of Astravets NPP, activists think.
Euroradio journalists will join meeting participants during Chernobyl Way and will report online from the spot.
