Thousands march against nuclear power in Tokyo

Several thousand people are marching in downtown Tokyo calling on the government to abandon nuclear energy in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear accident.

The demonstrators chanted "Sayonara nuclear power" while holding banners and placards as they marched Monday, a national holiday in Japan. Police gave an initial estimate that just over 20,000 people participated, but protest organizers put the figure at 60,000. (AP)
