The 1st direct action of our Stop!! Muji Campaign!
A report of the "Stop!! Muji Action for Peace in Palestine in Osaka"

Sunday, September 5, 2010

On Sunday's afternoon, more than 10 people gathered in Namba, Osaka and held a collective apeal to ask the MUJI not to deal with Israel.

First, we, wearing original T-shirts and showing banners, apealed to passersby with a hand-mike about necessity to stop the Muji to advance into Israel.

We also collected signatures on our message cards from passersby. With dozens of cards filled with signatures, we moved to the Muji shop in Namba.

Then, we played the Muji's commercial music with a PA system, and chanted our slogan "Free! Free! Palestine!" and "No! More! Occupation!"

Afterwards, we met the manager of the shop, explained about the aim of our action, and submitted the message cards with signatures. The manager promised that he would send the card to the head office of the MUJI.

Lastely, though we, still wearing the original T-shirts, moved to the Muji Cafe in the same building to have a rest, we couldn't find any vacant seats. However, this became an additional apeal to the customers in the cafe because of our T-shirts.
