Nuclear weapons abolitionists gathered in Hiroshima at the site of the first atomic bombing of Japan, sixty-six years ago on August 6, 1945 to declare an end to all nuclear weapons, a strengthened resistance to the increasingly dangerous proliferation policy of "nuclear deterrence" and the creation of more nuclear free zones. This year's international observance deeply sympathized with Japan's terrible loss of life from the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami and the new radiation victims suffering from the continuing nuclear crisis released by the Fukushima Dai-ichi catastrophe.
