THANK YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS!

Greenpeace would like to congratulate all of you out there who joined the international protest against French nuclear testing in the South Pacific.

Without the millions of individuals and 160 Governments who joined in the protest, Moruroa and Fangataufa could be facing another two nuclear explosions. Six tests were too many, but eight is worse.

Whether you joined the internet fax protest, wrote letters, signed petitions, joined demonstrations or simply argued against testing with other individuals -- you helped this protest.

Special thanks to the members of the peace flotilla who sailed from all corners of the world to Moruroa.

There are more battles ahead. China could test again in February. And the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) is currently under negotiation. If it is strong, it will mean a permanent ban on all nuclear testing.

Certainly the Polynesians need much more help to protect their ocean from contamination due to testing at Moruroa and Fangataufa.

And the French Government still has our boats -- ask your government to demand that Chirac release the Greenpeace ships arrested during peaceful protest.

But right now you, our supporters, deserve to celebrate what we all have achieved, working together for a nuclear free future!
