“The number of children and grandchildren with cancer in their bones, with leukemia in their blood, or with poison in their lungs might seem statistically small to some, in comparison with natural health hazards. But this is not a natural health hazard—and it is not a statistical issue. The loss of even one human life, or the malformation of even one baby—who may be born long after we are gone—should be of concern to us all. Our children and grandchildren are not merely statistics toward which we can be indifferent.”

John F. Kennedy, July 26th, 1963

For Reporting on Fukushima, a 10-Year Jail Sentence

FROM: WEIRD ASIA NEWS

Fears surrounding Fukushima’s nuclear meltdown have escalated a notch higher with Japan’s new States Secrets Act. The new stipulates that anyone who reports on the country’s worst nuclear disaster may face 10 years in jail.
Already, a Japanese professor was placed under 20-day custody, accused of showing open defiance against the incineration of Fukushima’s radioactive waste in the open air.
Since the new law’s enforcement began, Prime Minister Abe has come under public criticism. According to the Times of India, the Japanese leader’s popularity has dropped since the new enactment.
Japanese legislator Taro Yamamoto said that the law could lead to the reestablishment of a “fascist state” in Japan. Even the Asahi Shimbun newspaper said Japan’s actions are reminiscent of the country’s “conspiracy” acts prior to the Pearl Harbor attack.
