Dear All,
Please send e-mail or fax messages to the Japanese government ministers in
support of the ruling by the Osaka District Court on the responsibility of
the government for the health-care of Hibakusha living outside Japan.
As you may already know, Judge Jun Miura of the Osaka District Court ruled
that the Osaka prefectural government's failure to pay medical allowances to
atomic bomb victims currently residing abroad was against the fundamental
goals of the Atomic Victims Relief Law. We need your support to stop the
government from appealing this case to a higher court. Please send your
oppinions to the following people before the 15th of June, the deadline for
appealing.

This message is informing you of the current court
case regarding the Korean survivor.
On the 1st of June, there was a decision made by the
District Court in Osaka with regard to a Korean survivor.
The survivor was claiming to the Court that his right to
receive the financial support from the Japanese Government
was invalidity canceled by the Osaka Prefecture when he
left Japan to Korea in July, 1998 (He obtained a Medicare
card when he came to Japan in May, 1998).
The Court ruled that considering the humanitarian purpose
of the Hibakusha Aid Act, it is impossible to interpret that
nuclear survivors living overseas should be excluded from
the health care plan. Also, the court pointed out that this
exclusion might contradict with the Article 14 of the Japanese
Constitution which assures the equality principle under law.
Now there has been a social movement among the supporters
for the nuclear survivors to lobby the Government not to appeal
against this decision made by the District Court.
They are still discriminated by Japanese government.
Please save them!
