PSPD delivers the deepest condolences and solidarity to the Japanese people in catastrophe
-urging the South Korean government to review nuclear power plants policies

Japan is overwhelmed with grief over the unprecedented disaster on 11th March. The number of casualties caused by the earthquake and tsunami is uncountable. Cities and villages have gone and sufferers could number in hundreds of thousands. We, PSPD(People’s Solidarity for Participatory Democracy) in South Korea, send the deepest condolences to victims and consolation to the people who have lost loved ones, and believe that the Japanese society will recover and rebuild from the disaster. We fully support and participate in the assistance of the international society and the Korean society for the people in Japan.

Unfortunately, Japanese people are struck with the fear of another disaster. With the possibility of the massive earthquake, the risk of a radiation leak in the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex appears high. Taking preventive measures, its Unit 2 and Unit 4 followed by the explosion occurrence of Unit 1 and Unit 3 exploded and have been releasing radiation. This is a crisis to the people of Japan that is the only one country with the history of radiation exposure, and fear to mankind. Meanwhile, it is a big problem that the Japanese government does not inform people of the situation accurately. Additionally, the experts in the nuclear energy field and the media in South Korea do not take a radiation leak seriously.

We hope that the crisis would not bring a nuclear disaster and there would be no more victims. We send our condolences and solidarity to the people in Japan as they struggle to overcome untold suffering and hardships.
