The Norwegian Nobel Committee commended the group for their witness testimony, emphasizing the crucial message that nuclear weapons must never be used again.
Nihon Hidankyo, also known as Hibakusha, was established by survivors of the atomic bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. These survivors have dedicated their lives to advocating for nuclear disarmament and raising awareness about the devastating impact of nuclear weapons.
