An A-bomb survivor has spoken about the blast to members of the House of Lords in the first Internet telephone testimony to the legislative body of a country in possession of nuclear weapons, The Japan Times reported on 17 July.
Yoshiko Kajimoto, 84, addressed some 70 people in the parliament building. She was making airplane propellers 2.3km from ground zero when the bomb exploded.
A Hiroshima City official said the conference was a landmark event that, it is to be hoped, will raise awareness, particularly given this year is the 70th anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
