Statement of the JRCL-RMF (13 April)
Denounce the insidious frame-up to fabricate JRCL's commitment in the 'Mujahideen's statement of hostage release'! Let us fight to smash the US-led occupation in solidarity with rising people in Iraq!
- A nonsensical article appeared in Sankei Shinbun newspaper on 13 April. As to the April 10th statement of the 'Saraya Mujahideen' to announce its decision to release Japanese hostages, the nation-wide daily reported that 'the sentences are quite similar to those of the JRCL-RMF' or 'there are indications of some commitment by Japanese', as quoting remarks from police officers. Other papers also reported remarks from 'a high-ranking officer of the government' that 'as if it were written by some Japanese' or 'there can be a connection with some people in Japan'. We strongly denounce this frame-up against the JRCL-RMF! The Koizumi government launched the insidious offensive by using the mass media to get out of a tight corner after it revealed the inability amid the hostage crisis.(From the leading part.)
