During the Friday protest, participants demanded that Japanese government be held accountable for a 2011 nuclear crisis.
Most protesters said the 2011 nuclear disaster, caused by a massive tsunami, has deeply affected their lives.
The demonstrators marched toward the local court while carrying placards reading, “Return my job; return my homeland.”
The local court in Fukushima issued a verdict on October 10, 2017, declaring that the government in Tokyo and the TEPCO should be held liable for the nuclear accident.
It ordered a compensation of 490 million yen for the local residents.
The Japanese government, however, refused to accept the court’s verdict.
Nearly 10,000 Japanese victims of the Fukushima nuclear leak have now decided to seek legal means to protect their rights.
