Nihon Hidankyo: Japan’s atomic bomb survivors react to winning Nobel prize


Tokio (AFP) – “It is not nuclear arms that have deterred the use of the weapons, but it was what we have done that has deterred the use of them”, says a member of Japan’s Nihon Hidankyo during a press conference in Tokyo, the day after winning the Nobel Peace Prize. The prize was awarded Friday to the grassroots movement of Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors pushing for a nuclear weapons ban.
