Ulaanbaatar/MONTSAME/ On January 13, the ‘Mothers against Air Pollution’ NGO organized a ‘lie- down’ protest at Sukhbaatar square, demanding the government and decision-makers to intensify actions against air pollution of Ulaanbaatar city.
Demonstrators lied down for 15 minutes, holding slogans such as ‘We are dying’, ‘Eliminate air pollution’, ‘Healthy environment and clean air for children’.
Ts.Purevkhuu, head of the NGO, said: “Since its establishment, our NGO has organized five demonstrations against air pollution, demanding government and decision-makers to take efficient and substantial measures urgently. Nonetheless, decision makers are still talking about distributing stoves and improved fuels; that’s why we are organizing today’s protest. We are lying down on the cold cement in freezing cold winter in order to raise children in healthy environment and protect their future.”
“We demand to take urgent housing activities and reconsider their decision to distribute stoves and fuel. If the decision-makers do not accept our demand, we will make next step of the protest,” she added.
