オスカー受賞製作者ｼﾞｪーン・カンピオン
は１９７７年に北朝鮮のスパイによって拉致監禁された１３歳の日本人の女の子の、胸を引き裂くような話をつくった。しかし、その映画では国際的な子供拉致の罰則において逮捕されるべき日本国民の長いリストがあることは、述べられていない。 多く、これらの子供は１３歳にもたっしていない。 Is this a different issue? Lets compare:
|
North Korea:
Government Sponsored Abduction |
Japan:
Government Protected Abduction |
|
From 1977 to 1983, 13 abductions to North Korea have been recognized, and 70 to 80 are suspected in total. |
From the United States alone, it is estimated that more than 125 children are abducted to Japan, each year. |
|
Despite requests, North Korea continues to deny the extradition of North Korean abductors to Japan. |
Japan continues to ignore extradition requests and refuses to enforce arrest warrants issued for Japanese abductors. |
|
As of 2006, the North Korean Government has assisted in the return of five abductees and their families to Japan. |
As of 2006, the Japanese Government has assisted in the return of zero abductees to their
country of origin. |
|
North Korea has admitted their crimes of abduction to the world.
|
Japan does not recognize parental abduction as a crime. |
日本人すべての人たちが、まだ彼女の生死について説明してほしいし、もし彼女がまだ生きているならば、彼女を返してほしいと思っている。しかし、このような悲しみを全国的に経験しているのにもかかわらず、日本の政府は、他国より日本国民によって拉致された、日本国民についての返還を拒否している。そしてむしろ、日本は
ヘーグの国際的な子の奪取の民事面に関する条約への署名の呼びかけを断っている。この世界的に調印されている条約は、常駐居住地の国に拉致された子供たちを迅速に返すことを要求している。同じ要求を日本は北朝鮮に訪ねている！！日本はこの条約に署名しなかったG７唯一メンバーである。
最終的に、裁判所に持って来られる場合で 日本は親の外転が罪でないことを主張する。日本の最高裁判所までの裁判所は定期的に既に外国裁判所によって発注される法的管理の外国親に子供を戻すことを断る。国の外国裁判所は子供日本親がそれらを誘拐した時生きていた。
従って 日本の政府は自身の市民が免除の他の国からの子供を誘拐することは許されるべきである信じる。
もし、日本は国際的正義によっての要求について真剣に受け止めると期待するなら、日本は国際指示に寄るルールを受け入れ方向ですすめなければならない。私たちは『めぐみ－引き裂かれた家族の30年』の犠牲者にも共鳴しているが、カナダやアメリカ、チリそしてドイツ人、オランダ人の日本への拉致も日本国民が北朝鮮に寄って誘拐されるのと同様に重要である
Left-behind parents all over the world are protesting against Japan's hypocrisy
and call on Japan to:
- Sign the “Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction.”
- Return abducted children to their country of origin.
- Extradite Japanese citizens currently wanted for arrest under US and other countries’ warrants.
- Pass laws making parental kidnapping within, or to, Japan a crime!!
- Proactively facilitate frequent, meaningful and direct contact between foreign family members and their children in Japan.
You too an make a difference by organizing a full protest or even just handing out flyers at one or two showings in your area. This is how Megumi Yokota's parents started, and look what it got them - worldwide notice and condemnation of
international kidnappings. Please

Protests That Have Occurred... So Far... And Upcoming.... |

Hollywood Arc Light Cinema
Los Angeles
August 18 - 24, 2006

This inaugural protest occurred at the US premiere of Abduction: The Megumi Yokota Story, in Los Angeles. There was a group with signs protesting on the first day and on dignitaries day when Akie Abe the wife of now Prime
Minister Shinzo Abe and others related to the story attended. There were reporters from Fuji TV, TBS, NHK, Kyodo News, Yomiuri Shinbun and several of them brought film crews. There were also two crews filming for potential
documentaries, one of which created a YouTube video (see above) with Japanese subtitles. Producers Chris Sheridan and Patty Kim Sheridan graciously fielded their first ever question concerning "The Other Japanese Abductions".

Washington DC
November 20-26, 2006

This second protest in Washington DC was attended by Japanese Ambassador Kato, Matsmoto-san (the brother of one of the abductors), many other
Japanese dignitaries, and many US Senators and Congressmen and other celebrities. The protestors got in the first
question at the Q&A and explained the similarities between the Japanese kidnappings and the North Korean kidnappings.
They continued to hand out flyers to movie goers through
November 26. More details are available here. |

New York City
Cinema Village
Friday January 12, 2007
1:00PM showing |
Binh Oshima, an American mother fighting in US court for supervised visitation to prevent the Japanese father of her children from having a chance to abduct them back to Japan, carried out a one woman effort on the first day of the
New York City premiere. Arriving 30 minutes before the show, she handed out 100 flyers to anyone reading the bulletin board about the movie, entering the theatre and anyone just walking by. She says, "I understand how Megumi's
parents feel, because losing one's child is like losing your life. I thought this movie does not only apply to Megumi' parents, but all parents who lose their children, and would feel the same frustration and pain." Thank you
Binh!!

Portland, Oregon Hollywood Theatre
February. 3, 4, 10, 11, 2007 |
The fourth protest was a big success. There were between 15 and 20 protestors on Saturday, which included friends and relatives of left behind parents
Brett Weed, T. Miklia, Eric Kalmus and Patrick Braden, Judy Maher of The Childseek Network,
When the theatre owners first saw the protestors, they came out and tried to explain that this film had nothing to do with this protest. They had obviously been briefed by someone. But the protestors were patient and
as they explained the issues, the owners seemed to come around and understand. Read more from rainy Portland Oregon here....
