1st anniv. marked of weekly anti-nuclear rallies outside PM's office

The first anniversary was marked Friday of the weekly anti-nuclear demonstrations in front of the prime minister's office, which have grown steadily partly due to the use of social media to draw participants.

At the latest rally, the 48th organized by the Metropolitan Coalition Against Nukes, demonstrators chanted "Get rid of nuclear power plants" and "Don't restart them."

According to the organizer, people have taken to the streets in Tokyo's Nagatacho political district every Friday from 6 p.m. since March 29, 2012, to call for the elimination of nuclear power following the 2011 Fukushima nuclear crisis.
