Gwangan Bridge Activists Court Case in South Korea

A Greenpeace activist, Adhonal Canarisla (Indonesia), center, is embraced by a Greenpeace staff outside the courtroom at Busan District Court. Greenpeace commended South Korea's judicial system for upholding people's right to peaceful protest after it ruled that the four Greenpeace activists who demonstrated on Busan's Gwangan bridge (also known as Gwangandaegyo) last 9th July to raise awareness about South Korea's inadequate nuclear emergency plans, were justified to perform such action due to real threats by nuclear energy on citizens of Busan.
