German anti-nuclear activist Rainer Hermman is reported to have helped the anti-Koodankulam Nuclear Power Project movement receive monetary assistance from abroad through a Kerala-based organisation of fishermen, according to a top IB source.

Hermman, who is said to be an independent anti-nuclear activist, visited India in July and participated in an anti-KKNPP rally, according to an IB source.

An anti-nuclear activist on condition of anonymity confirmed this but said that they do not have any direct relationship with the German activist who resigned his job to go around the world expressing solidarity with anti-nuke movements.
