Tens of thousands of Japanese citizens and others rallied in Tokyo Sunday in what appears to be the largest antinuclear demonstration in Japan since the country's last active nuclear reactor went offline on Sept. 15.
Demonstrators marched in front of government agencies in central Tokyo chanting slogans such as "We oppose nuclear power" and "We oppose restarting nuclear reactors." A total of 40,000 people took part in the rally, according to organizers.Speaking at Sunday's meeting, Nobel literature laureate Kenzaburo Oe sought to make Japan free from nuclear power at an early date. "We need to win back a world where our future children can live."
