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 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.In original language:Menschenkette gegen KohleUeber 7500 Menschen aus fast 30 Laendern demonstrieren in der Lausitz gegen weitere Braunkohletagebaue und für eine echte Energiewende.

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.Related Collections:Human Chain Against Coal (Photos & Videos)
