VOICED: Japan anti-nuke demos gather pace

Japanese citizens have been protesting against nuclear power, driven by concerns following the Fukushima disaster. Thousands have gathered, showing a rare form of dissent in Japan, surprising even the organizers. Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda faces pressure after authorizing the restart of nuclear reactors, with his party divided and some members defecting.

The nuclear power issue is expected to be a key factor in upcoming elections, with potential political shifts if Noda remains firm in his policies.
