We request international media coverage on thyroid cancers in Fukushima
It's been 15 years since TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident. It's said that the first casualty when war comes is truth, and it seems the same in the case of nuclear accidents.
Do you know that more than 400 children in Fukushima Prefecture are suffering from thyroid cancer? Young thyroid cancer patients who were children at the time of the accident are currently suing TEPCO for compensation.
This has received little coverage in Japan. Please watch the press conference, and report on it.

No War on Iran or anywhere else anymore!
Another war took innocent girls' lives. How many more times do we have to come across and endure the same brutal tragedies?
This
shocking news reminded me that Iranians are poem-loving people.
Here I introduce
a poem by a great classical Persian poet, Sa'adi, while wishing for no more
violence in the name of “war” or “military operation.”
“All
human beings are members of one frame,
Since
all, at first, from the same essence came.
When
time afflicts a limb with pain,
The
other limbs cannot at rest remain.
If thou
feel not for other's misery,
A human
being is no name for thee.”
By a
great classical Persian poet, Sa'adi
(Abū-Muhammad
Muslih al-Dīn bin Abdallāh Shīrāzī, c.1210 – 1292)
