Hotu Painu : Poison Fruit

Abstract

Addresses consequences of French Nuclear Testing on Moruroa Atoll. Whilst Greenpeace was adamant in it's campaign against French Testing, many were jailed for opposing the tests, and Greenpeace itself was occasionally denied access into Tahiti by the French. As Government leaders of many island countries debated over the issue of a Treaty prohibiting further testing in the Pacific, the people of French Polynesia were simply calling for an end to French Nuclear Testing on their island, ending years of suffering from the effects of such tests.
