Movement to Support Independent Media of South Korea ~ MediACT Director Appeals
On Feb. 1, a protest against South Korean media bashing was carried out in Tokyo. Four members from Labornet, MediR, OurPlanet-TV and ColumRights visited South Korean Embassy to post petition urgently gathered from six groups and 82 individuals. Some 24 people gathered at MediR in Tokyo’s Takadanobaba at 6 p.m. for a rally called, “Save MediACT! Emergency meeting” (See photo). The participants discussed the situation with MediACT Director Kim Myunjeon in South Korea via Internet. “I would like you to know that the efforts of independent film and citizens’ media supported Korean drama,” Director Kim told the attendees in Tokyo. “The irrational and devious measures taken by the government of President Lee Myung-bak are intended to destroy South Korean culture. I would appreciate it if you could inform others of criticism over the South Korean government.” (By M) ・Submission of petition (See Video on UnionTube) *Photo = Yukihiro Yasuda talks to Director Kim
韓流ドラマの底流にある独立メディア運動~MediACT所長が訴え
2月1日、韓国メディア運動つぶしに抗議するアクションが東京で行われた。夕方、レイバーネット・メディアール・OurPlanet-TV・コムライツのメンバー4人が韓国大使館を訪れ、緊急署名(団体6・個人82)をポストに投函した。そして午後6時からは、高田馬場メディアールに24名が集まり「MediACT救え! 緊急ミーティング」が開かれた(写真)。そこでは、ソウルのMediACT所長キム・ミョンジュン氏とネット電話でつなぎ、生中継スタイルで詳しいやりとりが出来た。キム所長は「韓流ドラマの底流に、MediACTがやってきた独立映画や市民メディアの運動があることを知ってほしい。非合理で悪辣な李明博政権の今回の措置は、韓国の文化全体をだめにするもの。韓国政府批判の声を拡げてほしい」と強く訴えた。(M) ・署名提出(動画 UnionTube)*写真=ネット中継でキム所長とやりとりする安田幸弘さん
