At the hypocenter in Nagasaki City, about 70 high school students from inside and outside the prefecture made a "human chain" surrounding the monument indicating the hypocenter and vowed to realize a world without nuclear weapons.

About 70 in total, including the "High School Peace Ambassador" who sends a signature to the United Nations calling for the abolition of nuclear weapons at the hypocenter of Nagasaki City before 7:00 am on the 9th, and high school students from nine prefectures such as Nagasaki, Hiroshima, and Nara. People gathered.



High school students prayed to the victims of the atomic bomb by pointing flowers at the monument indicating the hypocenter one by one.



Risa Yoshikawa, a high school student peace ambassador, said, "76 years have passed since the atomic bomb was dropped, and as the number of people who know the time has decreased, I feel that the interest of young people is diminishing. After saying "Let's connect," we all surrounded the monument and made a "human chain."



"Human chains" are usually made by holding hands directly, but to prevent infection with the new coronavirus, we continued to wear gloves last year and made them with the ends of the ribbon.



Nana Katase, a second-year high school student who participated from Hyogo Prefecture, said, "I knew what happened immediately after the atomic bombing and felt that something cruel had happened. I continued my activities by talking with friends and participating in signing activities. I want to go. "
