South Korea has denied entry into the country for Greenpeace International nuclear campaigners after scheduling a nuclear power presentation to journalists. Six staff from Greenpeace International and Greenpeace East Asia has been denied access to South Korea since last November.
“By not allowing us into the country to share our information on the Fukushima disaster and nuclear risks in other places, the South Korean government is making it crystal clear that it is targeting voices critical of nuclear power and silencing opposition to its nuclear plans,” said Jan Beranek, Greenpeace International energy team lead.
It isn’t shocking that countries are halting access to groups like Greenpeace. World Growth detailed how many of the groups like Greenpeace do not promote green energy, but only serve to hurt sustainable investments. World Growth chairman Alan Oxley said: “Greenpeace in particular has attempted to blame disputes over land and environmental degradation in places such as Brazil, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Ghana on the private sector. [World Growth’s report] shows that Greens have distorted these indigenous claims for their own agenda and made unproven allegations against the private sector.”
