To Women for No-Nukes!

17,000 people joined the 7.16 “Good Bye Nuclear!” rally in Tokyo.

Weekly Friday rally started in front of the Prime Minister’s Office is now spread to 18 places in Japan including Fukushima. The Parliamentary Investigation Committee on the Fukushima Daiichi Accident concluded, “The Fukushima Daiichi Accident was human made disaster which could have been avoided.  It was caused by TEPCO and government who ignored warning on safety measures”.

Yet the Ohi unit 3 and 4 were restarted, once again ignoring the warning by experts on possible active faults lying right under the power plants. Critical conditions of the Fukushima Daiichi units 1-4 continues, while government is pushing for Osprey deployment in Okinawa and increased consumer tax, and politicians are busy with their own business of power struggle.

Our opinions are not reflected at the parliament at all. Only 108 MPs out of total 722 have signed to a petition on re-investigation of the fracture zones under the Ohi nuclear power plants. We shall support the politicians who empathizes the sufferings of people in Fukushima, who are struggling to protect our and children’s safety and livelihoods at all costs. We are preparing to question all MPs on their positions on nuclear power in each electoral area.

  

“Women for No-Nukes” are outraged by the restart of Ohi and stood up.  We appeal to all women in the world to stand up with us to protest the mother earth and the children in the world.

To all women in Japan, let’s meet at Hibiya park on 29 July, dance “Kansho Dane” – a dance from Fukushima of requiem prayer and resistance. Let’s initiate “One Vote Rebellion!” in all over in Japan. Get the MPs from your electoral area to stop the Ohi 3 and 4.

Let’s campaign against those who did not protest to the restart of Ohi.  We are the sovereigns. Let’s use our weapon of one vote. In US Jill Stein is standing for the 2012 Presidential election from Green Party. We appeal to all women in the world. Let’s put an end to nuclear power!

6.29 "One Vote Rebellion! Women Will Change Politics, Livelihoods and Nuclear Power!"

6.29 One Vote Rebellion!

Women Will Make Changes in Politics, Livelihoods and

Nuclear Power!

At 17:00 on June 29^th, 2012 - Women’s Appeal in Front of the Parliament

                On June 7^th, Fukushima women carried out a ‘Die-In’ in front of the Prime Minister’s Office, demanding an end to the plan to restart of Ohi nuclear power plant. Prime Minister Noda’s answer on June 8^th to these women’s outcry was “We will restart Ohi in order to protect people’s livelihoods and its safety has been secured.” Noda is now trying to restart Ohi, ignoring a possibly active fault crossing right under the nuclear power plant. We, however, have never handed over our lives to you; Noda, your political life is over. 

                To the members of the Parliament, are you doing your best as representatives of Japanese citizens? Despite the fact that more than 70% of Japanese are against the restart of Ohi nuclear power plant, the Noda government is forcing its restart. We support you, the MPs who empathize with the people of Fukushima and who are making all their efforts to ensure the safety and the livelihoods of the people and children in Japan at the expense of your own political lives. In all of Japan’s areas we are going to ask each and every MP if they have agreed or disagreed to the restart of the Ohi.

                Women in Fukushima have since 3.11 appealed to the world: “Please do not repeat Fukushima! Do not let anybody suffer like we are doing!” The decision to restart Ohi is indeed blaspheme against the Japanese people. Women got outraged, stood up and got together. To women in Japan, please send your representative to the 6.29 Women’s Action. We appeal to women in the world to please continue your protest at the Japanese embassies until the day when the restart of Ohi is withdrawn.

Japansk atom kraft - internasjonal sikkerhets instruks problematikk 14 Juni 2012 (ノルウエーのイエンス・ストーテンベルグ首相宛のメッセージ「日本の原発は世界の安全保障の問題である」

Til Stats Minister Jens Stoltenberg av Norge,

Vi, private grupper i Japan og i verden, har prøvd å stoppe restarting av Ohi atomkraftverk i Japan.  Fukushima katastrofen er langt fra over, det er 160,000 nuclear flyktninger, barn, i Fukushima som forsetter å lider med radioativ stråling hver dag.  Jeg kom akkurat  tilbake fra Fukushima hvor jeg traff 1000 unge mødre som desperat higer etter å få sendt sine barn på sommer ferie for decontamination.  Du har kanskje hørt om den kritiske situasjon av Fukushima Daiichi Unit 4 Spent Fuel Pool.  Både japanske og internasjonal ekspertene har advart at dette kan eksplodere hvis/når det kommer et nytt  stort jordskjelv som kan spre hele verden med 85 ganger høyere cesium enn det som ble fordampet fra Chernobyl ulykken.
Vi (private grupper i Japan) har kontakt med 324 organisasjoner fra hele verden. Vi skrev til FN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon med spørsmål om FN kan gripe inn i situasjonen for å unnga en ny gigantisk katastrofe.
En slik katastofe vil spre radioaktivitet i alle land om man har atomkraft eller ikke.

Undersøkelsen om Fukushima Daiichi ulykken er ikke over, og ingen sikkerhet er på plass for noen av atomkraftverkene i Japan i dag.
Men den japanske rejeringen prøver likevel å omstarte Ohi atomkraftverk selv om expertene mener at det kan være katastrofalt når et nytt jordskjelv kommer. Det kan resultere i en ny Fukushima-katastrofe.  Japansk atom kraft er i dag et internasjonal sikkerhets instruks problematikk.

Fukushima kvinner har siden 11. mars, 2011 prøvd å stoppe andre atomkraftverk fordi de ikke vil at andre skal lide så mye som de har gjort.
Vær så snill å se på video og hør stemmene av Fukushima kvinnene mens de leverer sitt protestbrev brev til var Statsminister Noda.

Mr. Murata's letter to Secretary-Genral Ban Ki-moon 4 June 2012

4 June, 2012

Dear Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon,

Please allow me to express my admiration for your untiring devotion to the

cause of peace and humanity.

I am sending you the English version of the massage I have addressed to

Prime Minister Noda. Also attached is an Urgent International Appeal to

Stop the restart of the Ohi nuclear reactors by a civic organization.

I believe that the lesson of the Fukushima nuclear accident is that

the possibility of such tragedy totally unbearable to human society should be

made completely zero. Japan has now the historic duty to contribute to the realization

of true denuclearization, both civil and military.

The situation on the spot is aggravating. The International Community is becoming aware that the serious consequences of the Fukushima nuclear accident are threatening global security, and is demanding that the maximum efforts be made to cope with the critical situation. As you know, 324 civic organizations are calling for a total moratorium on all Japanese nuclear power and immediate intervention of the United Nations.

I am convinced that this critical issue deserves most serious consideration on your part.

Please allow me to count on your precious support.

With highest and warmest regards,

Mitsuhei Murata

Urgent International Appeal Restart of Ohi Nuclear Power - A Threat to International Security 31 May 2012

Urgent International Appeal

Restart of Ohi Nuclear Power - A Threat to International Security

We call on all governments and citizens of the world to stand with us and express your appeals to Prime Minister Noda before he makes a final decision on the restart of Ohi nuclear power.

The critical condition of Fukushima Unit 4 is attracting international attention as the US military and defense newspaper “Stars and Stripes,” the Washington Street Journal and the New York Times began warning of its risks. Finally, even the Japanese media started to report on this issue.

Since the beginning of May, several international no-nukes and environmental organizations such as Abolition 2000, ISDE Italia Network, and civic groups in California have released international appeals regarding Japanese nuclear power policy calling for a total moratorium on all Japanese nuclear power and immediate intervention to secure the Fukushima Unit 4 spent fuel pool. On 29 May it was widely reported by international media that radioactive cesium from Fukushima was found in tuna caught off U.S. It is clear that Fukushima is not only a Japanese issue but also of international concern.

We jointly with Green・Action and the endorsement of 72 Japanese civil organizations worldwide have submitted our petition “An Urgent Request for UN Intervention to Stabilize the Fukushima Unit 4 Spent Nuclear Fuel” to Prime Minister Noda and UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon on April 30. As of today, the total number of civic organizations from all over the world which have endorsed the petition has reached 324. As a response to Prime Minister Noda’s announcement to restart the Ohi nuclear reactors, we appeal to Mr. Noda as follows:

1.        Stop the restart of the Ohi nuclear reactors to show that Japan is a responsible member of the international community.

2.        Acknowledge that restarting nuclear power is an issue of a totally different dimension from the supply and demand of electricity and take the decision to put an end to nuclear power.

Why this appeal?

1.        The Japanese government should put all its efforts into stabilizing the Fukushima Unit 4 spent fuel pool as a top priority.

2.        Japan as the country which is responsible for exposing the whole world to such a risk of radioactive contamination and which has failed to stabilize the Fukushima Unit 4 spent fuel pool is not qualified to generate any nuclear power.

3.        The biggest nuclear threat to the world today is not any North Korean nuclear weapon but rather the Japanese Fukushima Unit 4 spent fuel pool.

4.        The Japanese government is responsible for the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, creating 160,000 radiation refugees, exposing children to the risk of radiation, and destroying the lives of the 1.8 million residents who remain in Fukushima. Many more Japanese outside Fukushima are also forced to live with a high risk of radiation exposure. It is totally out of the question that the Japanese government which has so failed its people should restart any nuclear power, least of all, the Ohi nuclear reactors. 

5.        The Japanese government has not learned from the Fukushima Daiichi disaster. The fact that a restart of nuclear power is being discussed as a matter of simply providing sufficient electric power in itself proves this..

6.        A “nuclear dictatorship without ethics or responsibility” continues to exist to this date, and it still controls Japanese energy policy.

7.        If the restart of Ohi is forced to go ahead, the rest of the nuclear power plants in Japan will also be restarted.

8.        Some experts are warning that another big earthquake may happen this very year. If they are right, another Fukushima disaster will be inevitable.

9.        As a responsible member of the international community, the Japanese prime minister should not make a decision which exposes the world to a new risk of radioactive contamination.

10.      What Prime Minister Noda should do as the prime minister of the country which caused such a nuclear disaster is swiftly put an end to nuclear power.  Unless such a decision is taken, it will be impossible for the prime minister to regain the confidence of his own people or the international community.

We call on all governments and citizens of the world to stand with us and express your appeals to Prime Minister Noda before he makes a final decision on the restart of Ohi nuclear power.
