living in tents
outside METI building in Tokyo face eviction by order of
minister
Yukio Edano — What you can do to help (via Beyond

Title: Fukushima mothers and activists face eviction
Source: Beyond Nuclear
Date: January 25, 2012
On Friday, January 27th, the tent occupation in front of
METI in Tokyo
faces eviction by order of minister Yukio Edano. The
eviction order
follows a controversial public meeting where government
officials met
with nuclear industry personnel to discuss nuclear power
plant
restarts, while attempting to exclude the public from the
meeting.
Concerned citizens who registered to attend the meeting
were
forcefully removed and the meeting took place behind
closed doors.
The tent occupation in front of METI has lasted over 4
months through
the support of women from Fukushima, and many others
around Japan who
oppose nuclear power. People from all over the world have
visited the
occupation to show their support and learn about issues
surrounding
nuclear power post March 11th, including the severe
conditions that
people in Fukushima continue to face. Currently, women of
Fukushima
are in the process of a “10 month 10 day” 24-hour sit-in
to protest
against nuclear power and the government’s mismanagement
of the
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant disaster that
continues today.
An emergency press conference will be held on January
27th at 1pm at
the Japan Federation of Bar Associations’ Building, Room
1006. (Access:http://www.nichibenren.or.jp/jfba_info/organization/map.html
) This will
be followed by a demonstration at the tent
occupation
from 4pm to 6pm, the hours of the eviction deadline.
Please email, telephone fax minister Edano and METI ( the
Ministry of
Economy, Trade and Industry) to retract the eviction
order. METI (TEL)
