More than 150 people gathered
at the tent space in front of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry on
April 17th noon. An out-door press conference to announce the start
of a hunger-strike to stop the restart of Oi Nuclear Power Plant was held at
the venue. Many reporters from the mass media including NHK, Asahi TV, Kyodo
Press, Tokyo Shinbun and many foreign press, as well as independent, net-media
attended the conference. On the podium were speakers, KAMATA Satoshi and OCHIAI
Keiko and the tent dwellers in their white happi coats.(Photo) Diet members

by simply joining the hunger strike. You can participate just for one day, so
please join us. Let’s join hands to stop the Tomari Nuclear Power Plant on May
5th and make it the best present for children on Children’s Day!”
