Posted by Greenpeace on 03 Feb 2010 under News and Blog | 1 Comment

Approximately 50 activists against Bt Brinjal geared up for the consultation early on Sunday morning in Hyderabad. However, once we reached the main gates of the Central Research institute of Dryland agriculture (CRIDA), we were stopped by the police who saw some of us in Brinjal costumes and carrying placards.

After much persuasion that this is a public consultation and we have every right to be there, they let us in.
