Ecodefense: new court hearings ---------------------------------------------------------------------- On December 5, 2014 another court hearing will take place in Ecodefense's complaint against a 6,000 EUR fine based on the „foreign agent“ law. Ecodefense argues the fine is illegal as the organization is no foreign agent. However, obviously the government has another opinion, and there is hardly a chance for Ecodefense to change that. Thus, Ecodefense assumes the fine to come into force. For this case the organization announced to refuse to pay the money. Representatives of the environmental group emanates the Ministry of Justice to make this the reason for closing the organization down. Additionally, the Ministry of Justice already on November 19, 2014 started another case against Ecodefense as they refused to report their activities under the „foreign agent“ law. Probably Ecodefense will be faced to an additional fine of 7,000-8,000 EUR. The dates of the trial haven‘t been released yet, but it could happen at any point in December. It is important to remind that Ecodefense has been particularly prosecuted because of their successful campaign against the proposed Baltic NPP near Kaliningrad. For many years Ecodefense has been an important cooperation partner of the German anti-nuclear movement in Russia – together for instance the transports of uranium waste from the Gronau uranium enrichment facility to Russia had been stopped.

Czech government wants to mine uranium in Brzkov from 2022 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Since June 2014, the association "Our Future Without Uranium" (NBBU) of Brzkov is trying to make the Regional Authority of the Vysočina Region and ministerial officials understand the absurdity of opening uranium mine in Brzkov and to persuade them to take appropriate measures to prevent mining. According to the latest information, the Czech government still wants to mine and the Regional Authority continues to support this intention, too. On the other hand, the opposition councillors support dialogue with NBBU and local municipalities. Members of NBBU have had a busy spring, summer and autumn. At first - they founded their association at the beginning of June. By this they have taken a responsible role of defender of their rights and their home. Subsequently they held a first debate (co-organized by Calla), where they introduced their petition "NO URANIUM MINING IN THE VYSOČINA REGION" which was addressed to the Prime Minister Sobotka (1,700 signatories by mid-October), they signed the "Memorandum for a Future Without Uranium" together with four local authorities, organized the "March Against Uranium" in September and the photo exhibition "Faces of Uranium" (in cooperation with Calla) ongoing till the end of October. During the October excursion in the chemical treatment plant in Dolní Rožínka they established a direct contact with the leadership of the division GEAM of DIAMO, state enterprise, which was authorized by the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MPO) to produce study on the feasibility of opening uranium deposit in Brzkov-Horní Věžnice.
