・ざっというと、仁藤夢乃氏がやっていることはためにならない、アメリカ政府に表面的にも潜在的にも損になることをしてるよという内容です。
・情報公開請求という形式をとっていますが実際の効果としては、米国大使館に対する連絡文ですね。
・ニュアンスとして、もしこれでも仁藤さん庇うなら、人権問題で西側が責められるよ、という含みがあります。
１１月１１日付で情報公開請求をして、１１月２４日にacknowledgement letter (受理通知書、くらいかな）をもらっています。
Dear FOIA officer or whoever concerned,
This is a Freedom of Information Act Request.
Items I am seeking are; ALL the e-mail, SMS and messenger applications communications exchanged between officers in US embassy of Tokyo and Yumeno Nito ,from 2014 January 1 to the date of this request; messenger applications include, but not limited to, Whatsup, Facebook, Twitter, LINE and Signal. If you have sound files or attached files i.e. image files, I’m also seeking them. Yumeno Nito is a prominent social activist in Japan.
I am a news media representative, an editor in chief of echo-news and have been reported the issues this year, I request the Full Fee Waiver and rapid response since it is concerned with urgent needs of public interest.
To say, Nito is now under the suspect of serious human rights violation to the girls who live in the accommodations Nito offers. Also, Nito is now under the criminal scandal of 50 million yens fraud too.
The former human right issue is that, she has highly probably exploited several intellectual retardation girls including teenagers, who could not understand the complicated issues, to anti US base protest movement of Okinawa. To say, young disabled girls had been ‘mobilized’ by Nito; they are transported from the houses Nito ( with virtuous mind on surface ) offered to them in Tokyo, visited Okinawa to join the blockage sabotage to the US Henoko Base construction. It ended up the physical transport of them by Riot Police of Japan though it had not been ‘arrests’, under the criminal procedural law, technically.
To encourage young intellectual disabled girls to join the criminal offense is with no doubt human rights violation to them. And in this case they are living in the group apartment Nito calls ‘shelter’, where they are ordered what to do (or not to do) by the leader. So they had little room of denying the sabotage campaign trip suggested by Nito.
At least one of them also has mental disorder and more than half of them have histories of child abuse, according to the book Nito published September 2022, ” 当たり前の日常を手に入れるために” ) . It had been highly probable that the disabled underaged girls might be end up in arrests, criminal charge and the judgement of guilty. Actually the leader of the sabotage group is arrested to the subpage offense to the civilians who construct US base and police officers patrolling there.
Although none of the girls had been arrested ever, it is highly possible they may join the Okinawa sabotage again. Nito has just Joined the sabotage with girls and riot police dealt with her.
Therefore the items should be released imminently.
The latter one is a fraud charge suspect the government, which may also lead to a tax evasion. In November 9, audit section of Tokyo prefecture local government started an investigation of her abuse of money around around 50 million yens subsided by Japan’s national government and Tokyo local government. This measure taken by the audit bureau is quiet exceptional, as far as you can confirm, this is the 3rd case of audit started by tax payers request ( in 1 case made 6 years ago is deeply related to resignation of former Tokyo metropolitan government, Yoichi Masuzoe). This audit has a dead line of just 1 year after the governments payment; to say, April 1, 2023.
Lastly, the items I am seeking exist with very high probable. Nito had visited US embassy in Tokyo and held a meeting on human trafficking with officer(s) according her blog and news outlets. So it is very probable Nito had sesstioned with the officers she knew,before, about the issues of Henoko bases too. Also, US officers who had met ever Nito should have known she was planning to joine the sabotage because her anti US base movement had long been widely reported here in Japan.
