San Francisco – Join No Nukes Action NNA on its 85th action at the San Francisco Japanese Consulate to stop the Abe Japanese government’s restart of Japan’s nuclear plants.
[2] In addition to the action vis-a-vis the Japanese Government, there is a move to approach the International Olympic Committee.
Mr.Yves Lenoir, President of Chernobyl Children, Belarus, informed me of a move to approach the IOC on November 6, in Lausanne, to protest against organizing the Tokyo Olympic Games.
(“Nous allons organiser la journee du mercredi 6 nov une rencontre avec la CIO (10-11h), une manifestation, un rassemblement avec un point de presse (vers 15-17h) a Lausanne pour protester l’organisation des JO radioactifs de Tokyo en 2020 a partir du 24 juillet.”)
[Prompt-Online Translation: “We are going to organize the journee of Wednesday, Nov 6th a meeting with CIO (10-11h), a demonstration, a gathering with a point of press (towards 15-17h) has Lausanne to protest the organization of JO radioactive of Tokyo in 2020 has leave of July 24th.”]
Under such circumstances, I feel encouraged to hope for a change of the tide.
With warmest and highest regards,
