Template:Oldpeerreview It is impossible that the Fernando Pereira that is the current destination of this link could be the Fernando Pereira mentioned in this entry. One died in 1972, the other led a revolution in 2003.

"The skipper, David McTaggart, was beaten and severely injured by members of the French military." Such a sentence may be misleading without context. Was McTaggart beaten when helpless, or did he try to resist arrest? Do we have other testimonies apart from McTaggart's on this? David.Monniaux 15:24, 23 May 2004 (UTC)
- "Mr McTaggart returned to the atoll, but was captured and beaten up by French military officers." BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/1239059.stm) "He and his crew were physically assaulted by the French military. Although this charge was later denied, it was captured on camera by a crew member. The subsequent litigation against the French government, and the corresponding publicity, played a major part in the French decision to end their nuclear testing programme." (http://www.europaworld.org/issue28/davidfrasermctaggart.htm) I once saw a picture of his black eye on television. He reportedly could not see for a while.
