Battle at the UN Human Rights Council
Eldridge
Then, what should you do in order not to get over the impression operation of them?
It is not just about what the newspaper and the television tells, but also the background of "Why are they being told so" and the attention to "the things not being told".
In that respect, Ms. Ganaha's activities have a very important meaning.
Ms. Ganaha reported on June 14, 2017 at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland.
Please let me know its contents.
Ms. Ganaha
There is a person called Hiroji Yamashiro (Okinawa Peace Movement Center Chairperson) as a leader of the opponents who oppose the US military base in the prefecture where opposition activities have been continued for a long time.
I knew in advance that he was going to sue for there is no such fact, "Repression of human rights by the Japanese government" at the UN Human Rights Council.
Since I was listening to the voice of locals who had been suffering from their anti-base activities for some time ago, I thought that "unless I tell the truth, the United Nations will be used for anti-Japanese activities."
They have the aim of utilizing the authority of the United Nations to raise the opposition against the base and to withdraw the US forces from Okinawa and to disarm the Okinawa.
Ryukyu independence movement is one of them.
To prevent the word "repression of human rights" from walking alone, using the NGO framework at the same UN Human Rights Council meeting,
"He will speak that the Japanese government is threatening human rights and freedom of expression, but that is not true" "I tell him that the very man is threatening human rights and freedom of expression." It was.
Eldridge
The previous Mitchell wrote on Mr. Yamashiro about himself as "a prisoner of conscience" and "The Japan Times" (WEB version, June 10, 2017).
He always writes articles with activist subjectivity, but this article quotes objective Mr. Yamashiro's remarks, it is not bad for him.
It is 3 or 4 points with 10 points outstanding (laugh).
"Prisoners of conscience" is a keyword familiar in the United Nations advocated by international human rights advocacy group (Amnesty International).
It means the person arrested for thought and political reasons through penetrating nonviolence.
Ms. Ganaha
No way.
Yamashiro is arrested for multiple charges including "disturbance of power operation", "obstruction of public performance", "illegal invasion", "injury", etc. It is in a state of bail.
I heard that court permission is necessary for traveling more than three days, so at first it was half in doubt whether he could go to Geneva.
However, permission really got down.
In addition, Yamashiro defendant says his arrest is a violation of the human rights of the authorities, the Japanese government is threatening human rights and freedom of expression.
But please think about it.
What on earth is the threat of freedom to those who can go to Switzerland by being out being on bail?
Eldridge
A state of Mr. Yamashiro raise his voice and grab the officials of the Okinawa Defense Bureau is also released on the video site "YouTube" (as of the end of July this year).
Ms. Ganaha
Attendees of the UN Human Rights Council told Yamashiro's defense "I was surprised at the assault site".
Those who attended from Pakistan said, "Why could humans who exercise such violence leave Japan?"
Fortunately, since my speech was ahead of him in his turn, I think that many people had the impression that "Where is the repression of speech?"
Also, some of the participants are involved in the Tibetan liberation campaign, some of whom had been deprived of badges due to protests against China and no longer put them in the United Nations building, He seems to have experienced an obstructive work that the image data flew during the speech at the UN Human Rights Council and the relay video did not flow.
To make a speech at that place is exactly deadly contest, especially criticism of China that dominates the Human Rights Council is extremely difficult.
In exchange, Yamashiro who visited the United Nations triumphantly from peaceful Japan and shouts out loud about human rights suppression looked rather ridiculous.
This draft continues.
