"I've been appealing to the world to never make a survivor again, but I'm very sad, sorry, and annoyed that it wasn't communicated," said the man.

Jiro Hamazumi (76), who lives in Inagi City, Tokyo, lost his father in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and is a "hibakusha in the womb" who was exposed in his mother's stomach.



He is the Deputy Secretary-General of the Japan Confederation of Atomic Bomb Victims, and three years ago in 2019, he was in front of representatives of each country at the NPT = Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty held at the United Nations Headquarters. And appealed for the abolition of nuclear weapons.

Regarding Russia's invasion of Ukraine this time, Mr. Hamazumi said, "When I hear reports that children died every day or that my family fled abroad, I think of Japan 77 years ago. Even 77 years ago, my father's I can't forget that. Who has the authority to take a person's life? I can't forgive him. "



And, regarding Russia's President Vladimir Putin's stance of showing off his possession of nuclear weapons, "We have continued to appeal to the world not to make survivors again, but it is very difficult to tell. I'm sad, sorry, and annoyed. "



Regarding the fact that some of the ruling and opposition parties have made a series of remarks over the policy of sharing and operating US nuclear weapons among allies and the revision of the Three Non-Nuclear Principles, "For us A-bomb survivors, the idea of ​​nuclear deterrence or a nuclear umbrella. Is nothing more than a mushroom cloud on August 6th and 9th. It's very unbearable. It's often said that each country should have one nuclear weapon. It does not forever put humans in anxiety and bring about a peaceful world. Japan should take the lead as a war-bombed country and call for the elimination of nuclear weapons. "



On top of that, "I want people around the world, especially politicians and leaders, to be aware of the real damage caused by the atomic bomb. I would like to work with young people on how to go. "
