Dear Fucetola-san,
Mr. Robert Hunziker, prominent American journalist has sent me a letter of support for the Big Rally 2018 for Fukushima Without Nuclear Plants.
He strongly disagrees with the Trump pe-emptive use of nuclear weapons. [Specifically on the Korean Peninsula.]
He opposes “the Abe administration proposal to eliminate the 9th clause of the Constitution.” [Japanese Constitution clause outlawing war: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_9_of_the_Japanese_Constitution.]
He considers it a violation of International Codes of Human Rights &Ethics to force evacuees to return to high, high radioactive areas. He points out that “raising exposure to 20 milli-Sieverts per year is equivalent to an unconscionable act of terrorism against the people of Japan, especially to children.”
He considers it a violation of basic human rights not to report cases of thyroid cancer of children.
He finally expresses his “adamant” opposition against the Tokyo Olympic Games 2020.
With warmest regards,
———-

Letter of Support for: Executive Committee of March 11 Fukushima Anti-Nuke Action
In lieu of personally attending the C, I hereby extend my wholehearted support.
I agree with several issues as outlined by the Executive Committee of March 11 Fukushima Anti-Nuke Action.
Firstly, I violently disagree with the Trump policy of pre-emptive use of nuclear weapons. It is inhumane and senseless as well as a violation of provisions of UN International Standards of Human Rights.
Secondly, I oppose the Abe administration proposal to eliminate the 9th clause of the constitution, which stipulates renunciation of war.
Additionally, I applaud the courage of people who attend the Big Rally 2018 for Fukushima Without Nuclear Plants.
It should also be noted that the Abe administration forcing evacuees to return to high radioactive contamination areas is a violation of International Codes of Human Rights & Ethics. Additionally, raising exposure to 20milli-Sieverts per year is equivalent to an unconscionable act of terrorism against the people of Japan, especially to children. It is also a violation of basic human rights when cases of thyroid cancer in children are not reported.
Finally, I am adamantly opposed to the Olympic Games in Tokyo 2020.
Signed,
Robert Hunziker
I am proud to support Ambassador Murata in his efforts to bring to the light of world attention the devastating and irrational positions taken by the Japanese government, the International Olympic Committee and others who persist, for whatever reasons, in acting as if Fukushima never happened, that radiation is of no consequence and that hoopla and public relations can make cancer, destroyed ecosystems and other consequences of the uninsurable industry of nuclear power and the unthinkable weapon of nuclear war.
The Tokyo Olympics are an assault on Olympic athletes and visitors as well as on reason: radiation exposure is not sportsmanship, it is a medical disaster.
Nuclear war is not military might, it is imperial insanity.
Resettlement into highly contaminated areas like Fukushima and the production of food there is not recovery, it is a continuing crime against humanity.
The world has much to mourn in the presence of radioactive contamination and nothing to celebrate.
Forward this article as widely as you can to bring this disaster and its irrational and dangerous consequences to the attention of everyone with whom you can connect.
Hi Ralph, thank you for this important post.
I just wanted to clarify that the poster at the top and the website link is for the Fukushima +7 years events taking place in London, i.e. not in Japan!
