 NEW YORK (AP) - Thousands of activists marched past the United Nations on Sunday, urging diplomats reviewing the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty to remember the horrors of the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki six decades ago and not allow them to be repeated.
Chanting "No War, No Nukes" and carrying signs saying "No More Hiroshima, No more Nagasaki," the marchers then headed to Central Park, where they formed a human peace symbol. Organizers put the number of protesters at 40,000.
The mayor of Hiroshima, Tadatoshi Akiba, told the crowd that the survivors of the bombs were "the only people who have had the experience of nuclear war."
