Protests against the Rampal Power Plant must be respected
It was deeply upsetting to watch the police force using tear shells, water cannons, and batons on the activists protesting the Rampal Power Plant on January 26. The state must remember that this isn't a political movement, but a people's movement instigated with the aim of preserving a precious heritage, the destruction of which will have devastating consequences.
Our activists are being persecuted for actions that should be praised. It is unbelievable that the government is ignoring the people's rightful demand for something that will benefit the country. This country belongs to the people, and their wishes must be fulfilled.
