Gov't appeals court decision over Isahaya

TOKYO, Japan - People stage a sit-in in front of the farm ministry in Tokyo on July 10 after the Japanese government appealed a district court ruling that ordered the state to open the Isahaya Bay dike in Nagasaki Prefecture, citing concerns that opening it will expose the area to risks of high tides which would damage farming business on the reclaimed land there. Fishermen claim the government's project to fill the bay has damaged the seawater environment in the area and their fishery businesses.
