Protests Grow in Japan: "We Want to Bring Our Message to the World to Stop Nuclear Power Plants"





Published on Jan 17, 2014

http://www.democracynow.org - Recent moves by the Japanese government to restart the country's nuclear power plant facilities have been met by growing protests "I think this is a problem of the world, not just of Japan," Kato Kaiko told Democracy Now! at a protest outside the Prime Minister's private residence in Tokyo. She describes how there is increasing expectation that voters will decide which candidate to choose in the upcoming election based on their position on nuclear power.

Are their similar movements opposing the Japanse military buildup in recent years? I can't see that leading towards anything but misery.
