2020 Jul 29 - Aug 04 | 2020 Jul 22 - 28 | 2020 Jul 15 - 21 | The JCP on July 15 held an assembly to celebrate the 98th anniversary of its founding. At 6,000 locations across Japan, 17,000 people watched the assembly broadcast live on the Internet, and 38,000 web viewers watched it on demand. Japan's Hibakusha and antinuke groups sent written protests addressed to President Trump who justifies the 'Manhattan Project' to develop an atomic bomb by stating that it “helped end World War II”. Japan's capital of Tokyo hit a record 293 new COVID-19 cases. Given this situation, JCP Chair Shii demanded that the government postpone the start of its 'Go To Travel' campaign as this could cause widespread infections of COVID-19. |
