The three Japan nationals, deported from Chennai airport on September 25 while on their way to Kudankulam to join the anti-nuclear plan agitation, have, in an email, told protestors that "people across the world want to express solidarity with the historic movement in Tamil Nadu."
"We came here to show our solidarity with the agitation but were stopped at Chennai airport. After an hour-long interrogation, we had 'inadmissible persons' stamped on our papers, denying us entry. We are writing this because we would like you to know what we experienced," the email, accessed by TOI, said.
The email, written by Yoko Unoda of the No Nukes Asia Forum Japan, Masahiro Watarida of the Hiroshima Network against Kaminoseki Nuclear Power Plant and video journalist Shinsuke Nakai, further said, "'we could not see people in Kudankulam and those sympathizing with them. It is regrettable that we could not meet them. After being denied entry, our concern has become more serious."
"Globally, there are no borders when it comes to nuclear devastation. Let us overcome the difference of nationalities and languages and make thousands of, ten thousands of, comrades fight for our future without nukes. We hope to see you in India at the next opportunity," the mail said.
