Farmers protest in front of TEPCO's Tokyo headquarters
Edited on Tue Apr-26-11 08:44 PM by AsahinaKimi
TOKYO —

More than 200 farmers brought two cows to Tokyo where they shouted and punched the air Tuesday in a protest to demand compensation for products contaminated by radiation spewing from Japan’s crippled nuclear plant.

The farmers from northeastern Japan wore green bandanas and held signs saying “Nuclear disaster is human disaster” and “Stop nuclear energy” outside the headquarters of Tokyo Electric Power Co, the operator of the plant damaged in the March 11 tsunami.

Radiation leaking from Fukushima Daiichi plant - about 220 kilometers north of Tokyo - has been found in milk, water and leafy vegetables such as spinach from around the plant.
