As we try to evaluate the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster, we come up against official falsification of the figures. On a governmental and international level. The World Health Organisation is not telling us the truth, because it is tied to the IAEA by the scandalous Accord of 1959. It is an extraordinary situation which calls for extraordinary measures to bring it to an end. I am greatly encouraged by what you are doing. Your permanent vigil is a very unusual action, very strong … it is truly amazing, it is absolutely vital to keep it going. We have to force the World Health Organisation to tell the truth, which means breaking this Agreement. There is a second dimension to your action, which you may not even be aware of. That is the significance of your action for the stricken countries, for Belarus, for Russia, for Ukraine. For those of us who are fighting for the truth in these countries, it is very important, that gives us an enormous strength, a new strength: the fact of knowing that you are there, that every day there will be at least one person here. That tells us that we are not alone with this misfortune. That the world is listening to us, that it sees us, that a new humanity is rising.

I want to say to you here: as long as we have the support of friends, we continue to hope that the victims will survive. I am one of the 800, 000 liquidators injured by Chernobyl. These are truly the forgotten men in our country. Tens of thousands of them have already left this world, they are no longer able to speak. In the name of the others, to all of you on this Vigil, I wish you courage and a long life, that you may remain here until victory is achieved. I wish all of you good health, just as we had, all of us liquidators, before we arrived at the reactor. We were all young and full of strength. Thank you.
Vassili Nesterenko

We need a lot of support from other countries because the health consequences of the Chernobyl disaster are being covered up. For that reason I give my thanks to our foreign supporters for this help. I am absolutely certain that without this international support, there would be almost total silence about the health consequences of Chernobyl. So, thank you very much. I am very impressed by these people who have been protesting for such a long time, for a whole year. It is not easy, because everybody is very busy, everybody needs their time and their money. To come to Geneva, to stay there, to find lodgings. It is a very impressive protest. So I thank you very much, both as a Belarusian citizen and a Belarusian scientist.
Rosa Goncharova
