Japan Protests Mark 3 Months Since Quake
Antinuclear protesters staged nationwide demonstrations throughout Japan yesterday, three months after a nuclear power plant damaged by natural disasters began spewing radiation.
Demonstrations were held in about 140 places including downtown Tokyo, Osaka, Hiroshima and Fukushima, where the crippled Tokyo electric Power Co. reactors have yet to be brought under control, media including the Asahi newspaper reported.
As many as 20,000 people participated in the nationwide protests, Asahi reported, citing organizers it didn’t name.
Tokyo metropolitan police declined to provide any estimate of numbers at demonstrations, when contacted by Bloomberg News.
