Your voices will save the lives

of children of Fukushima!

Japan condemns Fukushima chidren

SUBHEAD: Cancer risk to young children near Fukushima Daiichi vastly underestimated by Japanese. By Arnie Gundersen on 17 January 2012 for Fairewinds Associates- (http://fairewinds.com/content/cancer-risk-young-children-near-fukushima-daiichi-underestimated)

On April 24 2013 the Sendai High Court made a judgement on the appeal for the collective evacuation trial. The court has rejected a demand that a city affected by the fallout of the country’s 2011 nuclear disaster evacuate its children.

The court acknowledged radiation in the city exceeded levels deemed safe prior to the disaster. But it said the government shoulders no responsibility for evacuating the schools as demanded ― in effect, telling people to leave on their own if they were worried.

The judgement on the evacuation trial for saving children from dangerous exposure will affect not only the lives of the children, who are plaintiffs, but also those of Japanese children as a whole.

And it will decide the shape of future Japan. As an action,  just after the High Court’s recent judgement on April 24, you are invited to have your voice heard concerning this judgement. If we all speak out we can reverse this judgement.

The world-renowned political dissident, linguist and author Noam Chomsky commented on the ruling of Sendai High Court which rejected a demand that a city affected by the fallout of the country’s 2011 nuclear disaster evacuate its children.

Chomsky said:

It is deeply disturbing to learn that the courts have blocked efforts to evacuate children from the Fukushima site, though acknowledging the health risks. Nothing tells us more about the moral level of a society than how it treats the most vulnerable, in this case its most precious possession, its children. I hope and trust that this grim decision will be reversed.
