Tokyo (AFP) – Tokyo’s High Court has decided to uphold the acquittal of three former executives from the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) operating the Fukushima nuclear power plant, clearing them once again of any professional negligence over the 2011 disaster. Activists supporting the prosecution of the men gather outside the court to protest their renewed acquittal in the only criminal trial to arise from the world’s worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl.
