"[Involved parties] are talking about the revitalization [of Fukushima], but they did not even achieve recovery. I'm wondering from the bottom of my heart whether they have given up.

Protesters gathered in front of the headquarters of the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) on Monday night to condemn the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea, and demand proper resettlement and compensation for the victims of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster.
