Souda Bay played a crucial role on the war on Iraq and the people of Crete and Greece in general are giving their own struggle against a base which has and will play an important role in past and future wars.
The people of Crete and more specifically of Chania are giving their own struggle for the past 20 years.
One could say that the movement against Souda military base is one with the longest and most distinct characteristics in Greece.
There has been a denial for the past 10 years from the ministry of Health to provide organisations and journalists alike with precise statistics about health problems related with the extentive use of the base for ''national security'' reasons.
Different news stories have been published which speak of nuclear weapons been kept. Moreover, especially during the past few years there is a spring of womens and drug traficking which many see as connected with the extended significance of Souda Bay.
Any official information you might be able to offer on the issue of the use of Souda Base will be appreciated. Information and statistics on cancer related diseases will be of great help if they can be found.
For a more extentive account on the issue of Souda Base go to athens indymedia.
Thanks in advance
