Dear friends in the world,
As soon as possible, please send protest letters to stop the Japanese government from deciding to release treated radioactive water accumulating at the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean.
The Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said this week that his government will soon decide to release treated radioactive water. The ministers’ meeting to discuss the issue will be held next week, earliest on April 13, in the midst of the medical crisis from the COVID-19.
We need urgent support from all of you in the world!
Thank you in advance for your understanding and support.
Best wishes,
Katsumi Furitsu M.D. Ph.D.
Secretariat, Chernobyl Hibakusha Support Kansai
