The Japanese love flowers, and wisteria are among their favorites. Wisteria are called fuji in Japanese.

One of the best places to view fuji flowers is the Ashikaga Flower Park. 

Japanese Ashikaga Flower Park (Ashikaga Flower Park) is located in the city in the province of Ashikaga Tochigiono Honsyu. The park covers about 8.2 hectaresand is famous for various kinds of wisteria. The park features lots of Ashikaga colors blue, pink and white wisteria and yellow broom, which look like yellow wisteria.

One large fuji tree is 100 years old and its branches are supported to create a huge umbrella of blue fuji flowers. There is also a long tunnel of white fuji flowers, while a tunnel of yellow kingusari needs a few more years to become an actual tunnel. Moreover, besides the fuji, you will find many other flowers, restaurants and a shop selling plants and local products.

The Center for Inquiry-Office of Public Policy urges supporters to have Congress pass legislation that safeguards stem cell research before sessions break mid-November.

A recent federal court ruling threatens to cancel scores of experiments in diseases ranging from diabetes to Parkinson’s.  A legislative solution is therefore necessary to ensure that federal funding for this important research is no longer vulnerable to political or ideological challenge.

Urge your Senators and Representative to cosponsor the Stem Cell Research Advancement Act (H.R. 4808 / S. 3766).  Tell them that Congress must act now to pass a bill in 2010 that explicitly authorizes the NIH to fund embryonic stem cell research.  Click on the “Take Action button to send a message to your Senators and Representatives.

An immediate and worldwide public outcry followed an urgent press release by the International Committees against Stoning and Execution giving notice of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani’s imminent execution. Shortly thereafter more than half a million people sent letters of protest, there were two million tweets on Sakineh, and rallies and events were held in a number of cities.

 

The International Committees against Stoning and Execution issued the press release after receiving credible information attesting to the plan to execute her on 3 November. Reliable sources within Iran confirmed having seen the actual execution order sent from Tehran to Tabriz prison’s office of sentence implementation and also seen Sakineh’s name on a blacklist of those to be imminently executed.

 

The Islamic Republic of Iran often executes people without any public warning or notice and even without informing lawyers and family members in order to avoid local and international condemnation. According to the International Campaign for Human Rights, at least 23 people have been executed these past few days alone without any official announcement.

 

Nonetheless the regime persists in concealing the real danger Ms Ashtiani’s life is in. Its Foreign Minister, Manouchehr Mottaki, told his French counterpart Bernard Kouchner that ‘the final verdict in the Sakineh Ashtiani case has not been announced by the Iranian judiciary.’ Malek Ajdar Sharifi, the head of the justice department in East Azarbaijan province, where Ms Ashtiani is imprisoned, also said that her case was under judicial review and she was in ‘perfect health.’

 

In the Islamic Republic of Iran, a ‘judicial review’ often effectively means that the regime is waiting for the opportunity to carry out its executions. The regime has executed many people whilst their cases were ‘under review.’ One well known case was that of juvenile ‘offender’ Delara Darabi who was executed in 2009 during a two month reprieve.

 

Whilst Sakineh has been held incommunicado since 11 August and her son, Sajjad Ghaderzadeh, and lawyer, Houtan Kian, been imprisoned and tortured since 10 October, the International Committees against Stoning and Execution will continue to act as their voice and their defence. And we will continue to raise the alarm when necessary until Ms Ashtiani’s stoning and execution orders are rescinded and she, her son and lawyer are unconditionally and immediately released.
