Japanese survivor of Nagasaki atomic attack bared his scars to plead against nuclear war

Matt Schudel has written an obituary in the Washington Post for 88-year old Sumiteru Taniguchi, a survivor of the Nagasaki atomic bombing who devoted his life to nuclear weapons abolition and peace.

See Taniguchi's address, "Humans Cannot Co-Exist with Nuclear Weapons," delivered during the United Nations' 2010 Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) review conference in New York City.

During the same public event, Amy Goodman of Democracy Now!, and Kurt Vonnegut, were also featured speakers.

Beyond Nuclear's Kevin Kamps was in attendance, having conducted an anti-nuclear power workshop at the NGO shadow event at Riverside Church.
