In Paris, the Abolition Flame lighting happed on August 6th, which was during a fast for Nuclear Abolition. Some of us managed to go 7 days with water only, in order to commemorate Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. We were 25 people involved in this fast organized by La Maison de Vigilance de Taverny but with also many other people from Abolition 2000, Mouvement de la Paix, Réseau Sortir du Nucléaire, Pax Christi, Non-violent Movement, etc.
We lit the flame in front of the Eiffel Tower. We stood 7 days at Mur pour la Paix, Champ de Mars, Paris, with a long streamer that said ” ABOLITION DES ARMES NUCLEAIRES”, which is now certainly on all the photos taken by tourists when they shot the Eiffel Tower !!! On our T-shirt is written a simple message - “a nuclear weapon free world is possible”. The flyer we distributed was also brief: ” we want France involved in the nuclear disarmament ! We want a nuclear weapon Convention for the total elimination by 2020! ”
