====Anti-nuclear advertisement====
In 1994, Greenpeace published an anti-nuclear newspaper advert which included a claim that nuclear facilities in [[Sellafield]] would kill 2,000 people in the next 10 years, and an image of a [[hydrocephalus]]-affected child said to be a victim of [[Semipalatinsk Test Site|nuclear weapons testing in Kazakhstan]]. [[Advertising Standards Authority (United Kingdom)|Advertising Standards Authority]] viewed the claim concerning Sellafield as unsubstantiated, lacking any scientific base. This resulted in the banning of the advert. Greenpeace did not admit fault, stating that a Kazakhstan doctor had said that the child's condition was due to nuclear testing even though no nuclear weapons testing is performed in Sellafield.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/greenpeace-accused-of-telling-lies-in-advert-watchdog-bans-antinuclear-image-1447196.html |title=Greenpeace accused of telling lies in advert |newspaper=The Independent |date=7 September 1994 |access-date=13 December 2009 |location=London |first=Rhys |last=Williams |archive-date=25 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150925161915/http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/greenpeace-accused-of-telling-lies-in-advert-watchdog-bans-antinuclear-image-1447196.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
