Power plant protesters will stage a demonstration in front of Government House today despite a protest ban at the venue. “There are both opponents and supporters of the power plant project. On February 9, Metropolitan Police announced a 50-metre area around Government House as a no-protest zone, forcing coal-fired power plant protesters to relocate their venue to the UN building. There were 69 persons participating in the hunger strike against the power projects yesterday. The power plant protesters form one group of many exerting pressure on the junta to meet their demands.
