Evacuees by Choice Shall Be Compensated—Rights Rally in Tokyo


Some 200 people gathered in Tokyo’s Bunkyo Ward on Nov. 5 (See photo) to discuss the rights of the people who chose to evacuate from the areas not officially designated by the government. The Japanese government has not compensated the people who evacuated from outside of the 20 km zone. The evacuees by choice, however, have also been forced to live in financial difficulties and separation from families. Their rights to live have been violated. The participants at the rally called the committee to resolve disputes relating to nuclear disaster for resolution at an earlier date. People who are left behind in Fukushima Prefecture are also still suffering. Residents of Iitate and Watari district of Fukushima City also spoke of their troubled situation.

今すぐ「自主的避難者」への賠償を!~避難の権利集会 in東京

11月5日、「避難の権利集会in東京」が文京区民センターで開かれ、200名が集まった(写真)。日本政府は、震災後、「避難区域(基準は20mSv/年)」の外から避難した人たちに対して何の支援、賠償策を示していない。「自主」避難した人々は、避難先で経済的な労苦、家族との別離等、生存権が侵され続けているのだ。集会では、やっと動き出した「原子力損害賠償紛争審査会」が1日も早く具体策を講じることの必要性が「自主避難者」から強く訴えられた。また、同時に福島に残された人々も悲惨な状況下にある。飯舘村・福島市渡利地区からの報告が続いた。(湯本雅典)・動画(YouTube)

Martha Layne Collins (born 1936) is a businesswoman and politician from Kentucky who was the state's 56th governor from 1983 to 1987. Prior to her election as governor, she was the 48th Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky, serving under John Y. Brown, Jr. She is the only woman to have been governor of Kentucky, and her election made her the highest-ranking Democratic woman in the U.S. at the time. She was considered as a possible running mate for Democratic presidential nominee Walter Mondale in the 1984 presidential election, but Mondale chose Geraldine Ferraro instead.
