Anti-nuclear power activist Udayakumar detained at IGIA via The Indian Express

Activist S P Udayakumar, who spearheaded the campaign against the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) as the convenor of the People’s Movement Against Nuclear Energy (PMANE), was stopped and interrogated at Terminal-3 of the Indira Gandhi International Airport on Tuesday. Udayakumar was on his way to Kathmandu to attend a UN consultation on human rights and was eventually not allowed to travel by the immigration authorities in Delhi, with a warning that he should “not try to travel out of the country”. “I feel my human rights have been violated systematically by the state and I feel very frustrated in this land of democracy and freedom,” Udayakumar told The Indian Express over the phone.

His passport had already been impounded by the Tamil Nadu police. – See more at: http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/anti-nuclear-power-activist-udayakumar-detained-at-igia/#sthash.qtncZ1Pj.dpuf
