STORYLINE:
Over 200 Japanese people rallied at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park in a strong protest against the upcoming Group of Seven (G7) summit, carrying banners reading "No War Accomplices" and "No G7."
In a speech delivered at the gathering on Sunday, Ichiro Yuasa, a representative of Japanese civic group Peace Depot, said, "Japan is saying that it will send a peaceful message of abolishing nuclear weapons to the world through this summit, but at the same time it is seeking to rely on nuclear weapons to achieve 'national security.' This is contradictory."
Participant Fumi Akiyama told Xinhua that Japan's use of Hiroshima, which had suffered the atomic bombing during World War II, to hold the G7 summit completely went against the good wishes of the people of Hiroshima to pray for peace.
