Fukushima survivor Ms. Sonoda testifies at the United Nations Human Rights Council on the ongoing human rights abuses of Fukushima victims and the ever-present risk nuclear power plants pose to the communities that live near them. She is presenting evidence at the pre-session for Japan’s Universal Periodic Review - an assessment of every nation by the United Nations Commission for Human Rights.

Greenpeace Japan is calling on the Japanese government to rectify the issues with its troubled nuclear reconstruction policy and to respect Fukushima survivors’ treaty-protected human rights, including ensuring accurate and transparent information is accessible, survivors have the ability to fully participate in policy decision-making that affects their resettlement and health, and adequate continued compensation so people may freely choose whether they will remain evacuated or return to their former homes.

Greenpeace activists and Swiss artist, Sipho Mabona, support the event with an art installation showing a giant paper crane origami.
