Fukushima Anniversary Protest in Tokyo

Greenpeace activists wearing “nuclear scream” masks and holding a banner with the text “They profit, you pay” next to the logos of nuclear companies Hitachi, GE and Toshiba, demonstrate in front of the Japanese parliament in the lead up to the second anniversary of the Fukushima meltdowns. The three companies have paid nothing for the nuclear disaster despite designing, building and maintaining the known dangerous Fukushima Daiichi plant, while Japanese taxpayers are being forced to shoulder the vast majority of the disaster costs. Greenpeace is calling for laws to be changed to ensure all companies involved to be accountable for nuclear disasters.
