World Citizens’ Tribunal for
Fukushima Evacuate Children Lawsuit
In June 2011, the parents of 14 elementary and junior high school students in Koriyama City, Fukushima filed a lawsuit to Koriyama District Court seeking provisional disposition to have school education in lower radiation level areas. However, on December 16, 2011, the Court dismissed the case.
Was this ruling a reasonable one? Now, the Japanese concerned citizens will hold the World Citizens’ Tribunal in Tokyo (February 26) and in Koriyama City (March 17) inviting internet jury from all around the world.

Message from Noam Chomsky
It is a privilege to be able to lend personal support to the Fukushima Evacuate Children Lawsuit. There is no better measure of the moral health of a society than how it treats the most vulnerable people within it, and none or more vulnerable, or more precious, than children who are the victims of unconscionable actions. For Japan, and for all of us, this is a test that we must not fail.
