As the Fukushima Collective Evacuation Trial Team is going to have a demonstration on February 23 in Shinjuku Tokyo, the team recieved a message from Noam Chomsky, the world-renowned political dissident, linguist and author.
The following is the Chomsky’s message given to the Trial Team:
It is most disturbing — in fact shocking — to learn that hundreds of thousands of children remain in areas heavily affected by the Fukushima disaster, and doubtless at serious risk. There can surely be no justification for the failure to evacuate them to safety, without delay. I hope that their actions will bring an end to this cruel policy, which needlessly compounds a terrible catastrophe. Noam Chomsky

SOS from Fukushima to the UN:
Mother of Fukushima
Testimonies of the mothers in
Fukushima filmed by the Fukushima Collective Evacuation Trial Team. In the
video, one of the mothers highlights the fact that regulatory standard for the food in the school meals at the primary
schools in Koriyama City, Fukushima is 10 Bq/kg while the standard at the
cafeteria of the offices of the Fukushima local government is 1 Bq/kg,
suggesting that the government could sacrifice the health of children by
lifting the safety standard higher than normal levels. In so doing, The
government officials seem to believe that the promotion of the local
consumption of food at the primary schools would make the impact of radioactive
contamination in the community look smaller.Also, the way in which this video presents the statements of the mothers by changing their voices and hiding their faces implies the mothers’ fears of being blamed by their neighbours or other members of their community when they speak out the truth in the public.
