Peace activists mark Hiroshima attack
Thousands of peace activists marched through Hiroshima today to mark the 60th anniversary of the world’s first atomic bomb attack in Japan, calling for a global ban on nuclear weapons.
The march to the World Conference Against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs was one of dozens of events being held there ahead of Saturday’s anniversary, when more than 50,000 people are expected to gather in Peace Memorial Park for a moment of silence at 8.15am.
