Hundreds Arrested in Germany
A train filled with 85 tons of deadly nuclear waste pulled out of Le Havre early Monday morning, crossing the French-German border at Lauterbourg-Woerth around midnight on its way to the storage site in the rural village of Gorleben. In response, activists all across Germany mobilized in a wave of actions focussed along the train's planned route. In the Wendland area around Gorleben, thousands of demonstrators engaged a force of some 15,000 police in a variety of actions.
