Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's government is planning a state secrets act that critics say could reduce public access to information on a wide range of issues, including the Fukushima nuclear crisis.Independent  journalists who oppose the government could be convicted under it and face 10 years in jail. Basically, this bill raises the possibility that the kind of information about which the public should be informed is kept secret eternally. Journalists ability to try and uncover the truths about Fuksihima is now severely crippled because finding the truth about Fukishima is definitely not worth 10 years in prison.
