Conséquences du développement du biodiesel

Message par huileux »

Voici ce que j'ai recu de biofuel watch une organisation qui se veut le garde fou du développement des biocarburants. Et oui même si on se veut pour un développement des énergies alternatives il faut se rensigner sur les abus et les conséquences possible.

Ici c'est le gouvernement Birman qui applique la peine de mort pour les birman qui s'oppose à la culture de jatropha, plante cultivée pratiquement exclusivement pour l'exportation vers des usines de biodiesel occidentales:
JATHROPA

I wonder if this has anything to do with the biofuel sector? If yes its
another argument for not only strong environmental but social safeguards
too.

Death sentence to people opposing Jathropa plantation
Document Actions
26 July 2006: The Burmese military authorities have warned people that it
would award the death sentence to anyone who speaks about the drawbacks of
Jathropa plantations in Chin state.

In the first week of July, the Tactical I commander of Chin state, Colonel
Tin Hlah warned about awarding the death sentence to people critical of
Jathropa plantations. The commander of Tactical I in Hakha, the capital of
Chin state issued this warning during his official visit to Thantlang.

Col. Tin Hlah cautioned the people during a government inter-departmental
meeting during his visit. The Colonel reportedly does not entertain any talk
about the plantation's success or failure.

A Thantlang villager told Khonumthung, "The officer regards a Jathropa tree
more precious than human life."

Jathropa has been forcibly planted by confiscation of land, five miles from
Thantlang town since 2005. The people are forced to work in this plantation
at least three times a week, sources in Thantlang added.

A farmer said, "June, July and August are hectic months for people working
in the fields. The authorities force us to work in the Jathropa plantations
even during these months. Nobody dares to oppose forced labour."

Meanwhile, some people opined that it is because the State Peace and
Development Council wants all the people to work in the plantations that
they have warned of awarding the death sentence to those against it.

This is the first ever death warrant to the people against the plantation of
Jathropa in Chin state. -KNG
