This was in sol­i­dar­i­ty with week­ly demon­stra­tions tak­ing place out­side the Prime Min­is­ter’s offices in Tokyo and else­where in Japan against the restart­ing of nuclear reac­tors as the Fukushi­ma cri­sis con­tin­ues. The week­ly num­bers tak­ing part in those protests have now swelled to well over 70,000.
