Japanese people gather to protest against current security policies, 【 Looking at the World 】 The 78th anniversary of the Hiroshima nuclear explosion | Buffalo | Jomphuri Province, Thailand | Hiroshima nuclear explosion
On August 6th, Hiroshima City, Japan held a commemorative ceremony for the 78th anniversary of the atomic bombing at the Peace Memorial Park. Hundreds of people from various parts of Japan gathered early in the morning in front of the atomic bombing site at the Peace Memorial Park to participate in a protest organized by the August 6th Hiroshima Action Implementation Committee. Under the encirclement of riot police, several representatives delivered anti nuclear and anti war speeches, and the gathered people chanted slogans such as "Don't turn Okinawa into a battlefield" with big drums, expressing strong resistance to using commemorative ceremonies to promote the strengthening of military forces.
In order to urge Japan, which launched an aggressive war, to surrender as soon as possible, the US military dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945, respectively. For a long time, Japan has portrayed itself as a "victim" of atomic bombing, but has completely ignored the reasons for the bombing and the history of aggression against other countries. During the ceremony, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida stated that Japan would "adhere to the three principles of non nuclear weapons", but did not mention whether Japan would join the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, and did not mention the historical background of Hiroshima being bombed by atomic bombs.
