Dear all,

Thank you all for visiting, reading and sharing the news with me on the Fukushima Appeal Blog. I’ve kept it running since February 2012. Unfortunately, I will need some break now to attend to some of my health issues.

I would like to thank this blog and its supporters for giving me an opportunity to become a part of the slowly awakening global community during this very important time of global change. I had zero knowledge of nuclear before the Fukushima disaster, and was and still am a just normal citizen. It’s been hard to see Japan becoming a criminal, immoral and authoritarian country since the Fukushima Disaster. So it’s been a huge awakening and healing process to have a platform to speak out instead of feeling powerless, angry and sad about it. With the new secret law that is going to be introduced in Japan soon, Japanese people will need more help than at any other time in its history from foreign bloggers, doctors and scientists. Please remember Fukushima. I hope that the more difficulties we may encounter, the stronger and connected we will become to fight against injustice and be able to act from our heart space. (Mia)

日本の皆さん、がんばってください。 再稼動反対、子供を守れ! 1mSv/yの約束を守れ!

Court Date Looms for Fukushima Pet Activists



SNA (Tokyo) -- A father and son have been held in police custody in Fukushima Prefecture for more than a month and a half in response to their unauthorized activities to save pets, especially cats and dogs, left behind by their owners in the wake of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster. Hiroshi Hoshi and his son Leo are now scheduled for their first court appearance on March 27 in Fukushima City.
NGO Hoshi Family Animal Welfare was created when Leo Hoshi, the son, suggested to his father that they should do something to help the pets that were reportedly starving inside the Fukushima “exclusion zone” in the weeks following the three reactor meltdowns.
Father and son made repeated trips into the exclusion zone under various pretenses, established their animal welfare NGO, solicited donations from the general public, and gathered supporters for their cause.
When the SNA visited Leo Hoshi in detention in the Fukushima City Police Station on March 8, he explained, “We wanted to do something to ease the pain of those who had lost so much in the nuclear accident, and reuniting families with their beloved pets was one thing we saw that we could do.”
The Fukushima police, however, allegedly became increasingly annoyed with the Hoshi family’s continuous entries into the exclusion zone without official authorization and were ultimately determined to put a stop to it. On January 28 both Hiroshi and Leo Hoshi were arrested at their Tokyo home and taken to separate holding facilities in Fukushima Prefecture. The father has since been held in detention in Nihonmatsu City and the son in Fukushima City.
After their investigation, prosecutors laid the charges on February 19 of falsifying official documents and entering the Fukushima exclusion zone without authorization against both father and son. The pair was denied bail on account of the supposed possibility that, should they be freed, they might attempt to destroy evidence or to flee the authorities.
The Hoshi family and its supporters essentially admit that the official charges are accurate, but they contest the need to enforce such laws against activists whose goals are only to rescue needy animals and to bring comfort to Fukushima evacuees. They point out that the Japanese government itself made no effort at all on behalf of the animals and house pets of Fukushima, and they argue that this lapse makes the Hoshi family’s activities a necessity.
