To mark the 80th anniversary of the devastating atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, CND Vice-Presidents Jeremy Corbyn MP and Caroline Lucas will be visiting Japan on behalf of CND.
They will be joining Hibakusha – atomic bomb survivors – dignitaries, parliamentarians and international delegates from across the world, participating in anniversary ceremonies in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as part of a World Conference united in its call for an end to nuclear weapons.
At our recent Parliamentary CND event, second-generation Hibakusha Kyoko Gibson, spoke movingly about the humanitarian impact of growing up amongst the aftermath of the bombing of Hiroshima. You can watch her full testimony and hear from all our guest speakers on our YouTube here.
