NAGASAKI -- Members of the Nagasaki Council against A and H Bombs (Nagasaki Gensuikyo) collected signatures in downtown Nagasaki on Saturday for a petition calling on the Japanese government to ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
About 10 people -- "second-generation hibakusha," or children of atomic bomb survivors, and members of Nagasaki Gensuikyo -- displayed a banner that called on the Japanese government to join the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
The drive was held alongside the Group of Seven meeting in Hiroshima.
