The METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) want them out.  The civil court ordered them to pay over 10 million yen in the name of "property right".
The petition is for urging The METI to drop a suit over ejectment of the tent

First oral proceeding is going to be held at Tokyo court on 23rd of May(Thursday), followed by a meeting for reporting.   The group is organizing protest in front of the Tokyo court on the same day between 10-11am.   They are now fighting for their right and for their country.
 The Occupy Tokyo set up their tent in front of the METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) in September, 2011. 

This occupy tent has been used as a base of expressing the voice of the nations. (More than 80% of the nations don’t want Nuclear).  It is an important meeting place for fellow citizens.  There has been regular outdoor broadcastings to Japan and the globe: announcing various anti-nuclear events, inviting special guests, exchanging ideas & opinions, sharing feeling and meeting fellow citizens.  They have exhibited drawing by Fukushima children.  They had done a hunger strike…etc.
