To: Sendai High Court
Mr. Yoichi Sato, Chief
Judge
Mr. Yoichi

Mr. Naoto
Ogawa, Judge
Mr. Shinzo Abe, Prime Minister of Japan
Purpose
One and half years after the Fukushima nuclear
disaster, more than 260 000 children
still remain in the highly contaminated areas. Although the parents in
Fukushima are striving to protect their children in various ways such as
wearing masks and consuming safe food products, their protection measures
cannot be the solution to prevent radiation exposure. We demand of the
government, as a part of their policy measures, to support collective evacuation
of the children and to allow them a life in a safe and healthy environment.
On
September 11, 2012, the first case of pediatric thyroid cancer was discovered by means of
thyroid gland examinations of 38,000 children in Fukushima. Normally, the
possibility of having pediatric thyroid cancer is around one out of 1 million
children (Syunichi
Yamashita, 2009, P 536 L1~2). Furthermore, the recent thyroid gland examination found out that 43% of
42,000 children have abnormal thyroid growth. This number is alarmingly high
compared to the findings of an alternative
examination
conducted by Syunichi Yamashita, the radiation risk
management adviser in Fukushima, resulting
in
0.8% in Nagasaki in
2000, and 0.5% in Chernobyl five to ten years after the nuclear disaster.
It is clear that something abnormal has been happening to the bodies of children in Fukushima. If these
abnormalities seen in these children’s bodies are left unsolved, Fukushima will become another case of Belarus or Ukraine
today, where healthy children are only 20% of the whole. This is not an issue of
political measures, but the issue of the basic human rights, which
casts the question whether the endangered children are to be spared or
victimised. The
government must learn from the
lessons of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and return to the very basic principle ‘lives are the
nation’s treasures’. Sign the petition and support us to evacuate the children from Fukushima to the non-contaminated
area immediately.
Proposal
We
demand that children be evacuated to the living environment where the air dose rate is under 1mSv per year.
Appealants
The children of the Plaintiffs of
Fukushima Collective Evacuation Trial
