五輪中止求め仮処分申し立て　市民「安全安心根拠なし」―東京地裁

　東京五輪・パラリンピックについて、都内と長野県の市民グループに所属する４人が９日、東京地裁に差し止めの仮処分を申し立てた。新型コロナウイルス感染拡大で、政府が掲げる「安全・安心な大会」は全く根拠がないとしている。
　申立書は、無観客で大会を開催しても、関係者や選手がおり外部との接点なしには運営できないと指摘。東京都に発令された４回目の緊急事態宣言下で開催すれば「市民の健康は損なわれ、命も危険にさらされる」と主張している。
　申し立て後に記者会見した堀内哲さん（５０）は「五輪が強行されれば海外から何万人もの人が来て、変異株拡大が懸念される。命を守るために中止が必要だ」と話した。（2021/07/09-14:15）

Four people from citizen groups in Tokyo and the central Japan prefecture of Nagano filed on Friday a temporary court injunction ordering the cancellation of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics.
   The plaintiffs claimed that the government's plan of hosting a safe and secure Tokyo Games is completely unsubstantiated, especially with the novel coronavirus spreading further in Japan.
   According to the written application, filed with the Tokyo District Court, the plaintiffs said it would not be possible to hold a Tokyo Games in which citizens do not come into contact with related officials and athletes from overseas, even if the sporting event is held without spectators.
   If the games is held while the Japanese capital is under the Japanese government's fourth state of emergency over the coronavirus epidemic, the Tokyo Games will "damage the health of citizens and put their lives in jeopardy," the plaintiffs said.
   Speaking at a press conference, Satoshi Horiuchi, 50, one of the plaintiffs, said, "We are concerned about the spread of coronavirus variants as tens of thousands of people from outside of Japan will come to the country if organizers go ahead with the Tokyo Games as planned."
