'Human Chain Against Coal' Crosses the Neisse River
Protestors join a human chain demonstration at the border between Poland and Germany. The border is crossed at Groß Gastrose, where local fire fighters join protestors and wade into the Neisse River, thus creating an uninterrupted human chain. Over 7500 people from almost 30 countries stand hand in hand, demonstrating against what would be Europe’s biggest brown coal open-pit mine. The human chain spans eight kilometres between the communities of Kerkwitz in Germany and Grabice in Poland. Both places, as well as others, are in danger of falling victim to plans for open-pit mines.
In original language:

'Human Chain Against Coal' Crosses the Neisse River
Over 7500 people from almost 30 countries stand hand in hand, demonstrating against what would be Europe’s biggest brown coal open-pit mine. They are calling for a real energy transition. They form a cross-border Human Chain, spanning eight kilometres between the communities of Kerkwitz in Germany and Grabice in Poland. Both places, as well as others, are in danger of falling victim to plans for open-pit mines. The border is crossed at Groß Gastrose, where local fire fighters wade into the Neisse River, thus creating an uninterrupted human chain.
