On June 30th [… an] activist there that day was later arrested in September, accused of damaging property, threat and assault at the gate, and causinginjury. In order to gain more evidence, the police searched Kaneko’s home, despite he having no relation to the man arrested, and seized all of his computer equipment, cameras, and memory cards. His property was still un-returned on November 5th when his supporters began pressuring the authorities to return Kaneko’s equipment, which they stated they would on November 8th.

Fukui Prefecture is home to Japan’s only operating nuclear power plant.
