"European youth to embark on bicycle tour to protest against nuclear weapons in Europe
Brussels, July 25, IRNA
Belgium-Nuclear arms-Protest
About 60 young people from 15 European countries will start a bicycle tour in the Belgian city of Ypres next week on August 2 to mark the 61st anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and demand a worldwide ban on nuclear weapons.
They will end their tour on August 9 with a blockade of the main entrance of the NATO base of Kleine Brogel in Belgium.
The NATO airforce base is suspected to host 20 US nuclear bombs with a potential lethal power of almost 200 times the Hiroshima bomb which killed 140.000 people by the end of 1945, said the Belgian peace group 'Mother Earth', one of the main organizers of the event, in a statement."
