Taipower ignore environment – Residents protest over high-power electromagnetic radiation

In the East District of Tainan City, the residents of Houjia Community have recently been enveloped in electromagnetic radiation. “There isn’t a community in the whole of Taiwan that has suffered the treatment that Houjia Community has suffered. Inside the 0.44 square kilometers of Houjia Community, there are two high voltage transformer substations bordering residential homes and a school. Residents must live in this environment of high-voltage electromagnetic radiation,” said Chen Qi-wen (陳綺雯) Secretary-General of Houjia Community Development Association.

Though a number of residents have approached the authorities for a full account of the situation, as yet, there seems to be no sign of any improvement. Chen Qi-wen hopes the local government will uphold resident rights and halt road access permission to the construction company. She also hopes that Taipower will act in a just way, respecting and safeguarding the rights of local residents, and allowing them to live freely without fear.

台電漠視環境正義 後甲居民抗議高壓電磁波

在臺南市東區後甲社區居民，最近籠罩在高壓電磁波當中。後甲社區發展協會理事長陳綺雯表示：全台灣沒有一個社區像後甲社區軍民遭受一樣的對待，0.44平方公里的後甲社區內，有兩座高壓變電廠緊鄰住宅以及學校，居民長期生活在大量電磁坡的環境中。雖然幾過社區居民陳情抗議，但仍沒有改善的跡象。陳綺雯要求市政府站在維護市民居住權前提下，停止核准路權給施工單位，也希望台電能夠掙居民的居住正義，還給居民一個自由無恐懼的居住空間，保障居民基本權益。
