Sun Xiaodi

Sun Xiaodi was employed in the uranium mine of the Chinese province of the Gansu, which would belong to the historical Tibet, according to the Gouvernement Tibetan in exile. Sun Xiaodi was the witness of the serious radioactive contaminations due to the exploitation of the uranium mine and challenged the authorities during more than 10 years, in particular seeking supports of the population by petitions.

Sun Xiaodi had been stopped in 2005 then put under house arrest. Its case was defended by ONG Human Rights in Clouded (HRIC). In France, the Network To leave the nuclear power as France-Tibet-Island-of-France expressed on several occasions their support for Sun Xiaodi.
