The Summer Olympics in Tokyo are approaching. We have branded them the "Radioactive Olympic Games", because Japan is still suffering from radioactive contamination due to the multiple nuclear meltdowns in Fukushima nine years ago.
We stand in solidarity with all those affected by radioactivity in Japan. The Olympic Movement needs to address their situation.
We oppose this attempt to use the Olympics to portray a false normality in the affected regions.
We demand that the International Olympic Committee and the Japanese government refrain from holding the baseball and softball competitions in Fukushima City and the Olympic torch relay in radioactively contaminated areas.
Support our demand with your signature.
Begründung
The situation in the contaminated regions remains volatile, the crippled reactors are still not under control. Every day, they release radioactivity into the environment, threatening the health of the population. With every flood, severe storm, forest fire or earthquake, more radioactivity can be released into the environment.
The International Olympic Committee and the Japanese government plan to hold Olympic baseball and softball competitions in Fukushima City, a mere 50 km from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant.
The Olympic torch is planned to be carried through areas still full of radioactive hot spots, starting on 26 March 2020 in the so-called J-Village, only 20 km from the reactors.
After the meltdowns, the Japanese government raised the legally permitted radioactive dose levels for the general public from 1 mSv/a to 20 mSv/a in order to prevent further evacuations and to pressure evacuees into returning to decontaminated areas. The Japanese authorities are violating international radiation protection regulations with this policy.
Especially children, pregnant women, the sick and the elderly are facing relevant health risks as a result.

Debatte
Why the petition doesn't request boycott Tokyo Olympic ? It is not the solution to relocation of baseball competition. Tokyo Olympic is huge propaganda that Fukushima NPP disaster is over and Fukushima is clean.

The danger of radioactive substances from Fukushima must be acknowledged by the IOC and the Japanese government to ensure the athletes' well-being.

Silence doesn't make what Japanese concealing about the fact of radiation. The radiation is in the ocean in the end it will affect on people all over the world.

Japanese government only focuses on hiding the issue not only to the world but also to japanese people. They are not transparent about information which should be shared in public. They are pretending now Fukushima is safe and livable. I am sorry for those sports players who will attend the olympic not knowing that they would be used for the Japanese government campaign. Their health is endangered as Japan is announcing that they will prepare food and place from Fukushima.

Human well-being is more important than anything, such as politics or money
