Guest from HK speaks at the anti-nukes tent



On December 19th, a protest action against the sudden closure of the case on the anti-nukes occupy tents in front of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry was held in front of the Tokyo District Court and the METI. One hundred people including women from Fukushima participated in the action. FUCHIGAMI Taro, the representative of the Tent, raised his voice at METI, “The government is trying to tear down the anti-nukes occupy tents, before settling the Fukushima disaster. That’s nothing but trampling down the voices of the people”. The next speaker was a guest invited from Hong Kong for the Labor Festa, Tam Leung-ying. He said, “The Occupy movement is still continuing in the Central Area, though the number of participants has decreased. There used to be a big anti-nukes movement to stop the start of a nuclear plant in Hong Kong, but it’s operating now. Recently, there was a cover up of an accident and this has been exposed”. He then introduced Hong Kong chanting, “Hope is in the People! Change starts for Struggle” (T)

19日夕方、経産省前テントをめぐる裁判が、不当に打ち切られたことに抗議する行動が、経産省前と東京地裁前で約100人の参加で行われた。経産省前では、テント渕上代表や福島の女性たちがマイクを握り「原発事故が未だ解決していないのに、脱原発テントをつぶそうとするのは、正当な国民の声を踏みにじるものだ」と訴えた。レイバーフェスタで招聘され、来日中の香港のタムさんは、「少人数だがオキュパイは中環地区でまだ続いている」と語ったあと、「香港では以前大規模な反原発運動があったが敗北した。しかし、最近では事故隠しが暴露されている」と報告した。またタムさんは、香港式シュプレヒコール「希望は人民にある!変革は闘争から始まる!」を披露し、集会を盛り上げた。(T
