Sai Kado Hantai! Stop restarting!  

The Japanese government is planning to restart the Ohi nuclear power station in Fukui Prefecture soon,, despite 80% of Japanese citizens being against restarting nuclear power.  Prime minister Noda mentioned in his recent speech in the public that Japan needs nuclear power because there would not be enough electricity without it.  However various reports have indicated that's not true..  He also said that restarting the nuclear power station will safeguard people’s everyday lives when he leaves citizens to live in the high radiation areas, not protecting Fukushima disaster victims, especially the children..

Media blackout: None of the main media including TV and newspapers in Japan reported this demonstration.  NNN and NHK did, but said that there were only 400 demonstrators, not the true figure of 11,000.
