The Voices of Ten Million: Anti-Nuclear Petition Movement Launched in Japan 千万人の声−−反原子力陳情運動、日本で始まる
A group of Japan’s most prominent public intellectuals have launched a movement to amass ten million signatures calling for an end to Japanese nuclear power. The group, which includes Uchihashi Katsuto, Ooe Kenzaburo, Ochiai, Kamata Satoshi, Sakamoto Ryuichi, Sawachi Hisae, Setouchi Jakucho, Tsujii Takashi and Tsurumi Shunsuke, also plan a nationwide series of protests on September 11, the six month anniversary of the tsunami and the beginning of the Fukushima crisis.
Affected by the earthquake on 11th March, the Fukushima Daiichi Power Plant of TEPCO is suffering meltdown, the worst possible situation, in its reactors number 1 to3.
This has become an unparalleled disaster, where high level radioactive materials have been released, following hydrogen explosions and the damages to the reactor buildings, into sea water, air and soil, contaminating the environment.
Even two months after the earthquake, the reactors show no sign of coming back to control and the situation continues to be extremely unstable. It is feared that there would be immeasurable effects on the health and lives of not only the local residents and the workers at the power plant but also the future children yet to be born.
We have always been aware that humans cannot live with nuclear. We are deeply regretting that even though we knew this fact, our protesting voices and actions against nuclear energy have been far too weak.
We are determined to take actions for a “peaceful and sustainable society”, reconsidering our lifestyles that exploit nature and waste limitless energy, and focusing on natural energy.
For that purpose, we set the following goals:
1. Cancellation of construction plans for new nuclear power plants
2. Planned termination of existing nuclear power plants, including the Hamaoka nuclear power plant.
3. Abolition of “Monju” and nuclear reprocessing plants which use plutonium, the most dangerous radioactive material.We will achieve these goals in order to save our own lives, and fulfill our responsibilities to the future children.
We will hold the “Goodbye to Nuclear Power Plants” Rally as follows. Please join with your friends and families.
Date: September 19th, 2011, Starting at 13:00Place: Meiji Park, Tokyo (Five minutes walk from JR Sendagaya station, two minutes walk from metro Oedo line Kokuritsu Kyogijo station (Exit E25)Expected number of participants: 50,000(There will also be a parade after the rally.)

The Silk Road House
The Silk Road House presents: "THE SALTMEN OF TIBET" German filmmaker, director and writer Ulrike Koch is a sinologist (her previous film dealt with Chinese medicine) who made this 1997 documentary on digital video with a small crew in northern Tibet. She also worked on the Bernardo Bertolucci films ''The Last Emperor'' and ''Little Buddha.'' For this Swiss-German production, she sneaked cameras into Changtang region in order to film four men and 160 yak in a 2,000-year-old ritual -- the annual spring pilgrimage to gather raw salt at remote lakes, a three-month Himalayan trek. The wind is a constant presence, and so are the looming, snow-covered peaks. This nomadic tribe has been collecting salt to buy barley in the same way since ages. All is ritualized: Margen cooks, Pargen prepares burnt offerings and distributes meat, Zopon cares for the caravan of yaks, Bopsa bends his strong back to arduous work. To each other they speak the secret language of saltmen. Camping along the way, they engage in prayers, talk, and songs. The saltmen are a fraternity, and there are initiation rites. The men play assigned roles: “mother,'' `”father'' and “novice,'' and we gather that there must always be a novice to reinforce the idea of seeing familiar things as if for the first time. The sounds we hear are the men chanting, bells and the deep foghorn blasts of resonant instruments. Punctuating the movie are excerpts from the story of King Gesar of Ling, a national Tibetan epic, hauntingly sung by an unidentified female shaman who is a member of the tribe.
Director of photography, Pio Corradi; music by Stefan Wulff and Frank Wulff; produced by Christophe Bicker and Knut Winkler; released by Zeitgeist Films. Stars: Margen (Old Mother), Pargen (Old Father), Zopon (Lord of the Animals). Language -- in Tibetan, with English subtitles. Running time: 110 minutes. The screening will be introduced and commented on by Alma Kunanbaeva.
July 9th, Saturday, 5-7pm

SADF condemns vehemently the new terror attack against India
Paulo Casaca, the executive director of South Asia Democratic Forum, in view of the triple blast that exploded in Mumbai at 7 PM local time, conveyed his condolences to the relatives of the fatally injured as well as to the injured. He expresses full solidarity with the Indian authorities and vehemently condemns this new terror attack against India, its perpetrators and all those who supported them.
For SADF any terrorist attack against human race is an attack against humanity.
Yesterday, SADF was working on the main conclusions of the conference together held with the Inter-University Centre for terrorism studies which was hosted by MEP Alexander Alvaro. The Conference was held In light of Bin Laden’s killing in Pakistan, the new terror attack unfortunately proved correct its most important finding: “The elimination of Bin Laden or the sideling of Al-Qa’ida did not stop the likelihood of the escalation of terrorism”.
SADF reminds that no measures are yet taken against the organisations and their leaders that have been identified as the perpetrators and masterminds of the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks rampantly working in their safe havens such as Pakistan.
SADF believes terrorism to be appalling and intolerable act of violence. It condemns those who use these despicable means to achieve these goals. Last but not the least, SADF urges international community not to support such weeds who are targeting innocent people for their vested interest.
