A member of World Network for Saving Children from Radiation attended the anti-nuclear event that took place at the Bastille in Paris, France.

Takafumi Honda, World Network for Saving Children from Radiation: On October 13, I attended the anti-nuclear event at the Bastille in Paris, which was organised by Sortir du Nucléaire Paris (Phasing Out the Nuclear Age Paris) and Yosomono (Outsiders’) –Net. During the event, around 400 people were participating to demand a phase-out of nuclear power in France and Japan. The event involved not only the speeches made by the organisers, but a Mikoshi (portable shrine) attraction and Kansho Odori (traditional dance in Fukushima). As a speaker, Haruko Boaglio, a refugee from Fukushima who came to Paris immediately after the Fukushima nuclear disaster, talked about the experience she went through after the crisis and the activities of Fukushima Nuclear Disaster Plaintiffs. Haruko said she had recently joined the Plaintiffs. I also made a speech, on behalf of Fukushima Network for Saving Children from Radiation, about the current health condition of Fukushima Children. In the speech, I attempted to stress the importance of collective evacuation of Fukushima children, as the recent data shows the increasing proportion of children having abnormalities in their thyroids. (More information can be found on the Fukushima Collective Evacuation Trail blog) When I was making the speech, despite pouring rain, the patience and enthusiasm of French audience were remarkable. They also seemed to have enjoyed the Mikoshi attraction and the strange traditional dance of Fukushima, which the organisers said they sought to respond to Kansho Odori, symbolically danced by the women of Fukushima at a number of anti-nuclear events in Japan...
