‘NORIKOENET: We Shall Overcome’ launched to create a symbiotic society ~ TV program on ‘anti-racism’ on its way ~




   

The kick-off press conference of the ‘NORIKOENET : international network to overcome the hate speech and racism’ was held at a live music club in Shinjuku’s Korea Town of Shin-okubo on September 25. Eleven co-representatives including Shin Sugok spoke on what they thought about this issue. “Although I had no defect at all then, I received a bashing and was excluded from the society. People were telling me to ‘drop dead!’ or to ‘get out!’ Now, I live in Kagoshima (far from Tokyo), but hearing about the recent spread of hate speech, I was so surprised at such a terrible situation. When human-rights education is considered important, we shouldn’t leave it as it is. Isn’t there anybody who raises his/her voice? I joined the NORIKOENET, wishing to put a brake on it,” said KOHNO Yoshiyuki, who was abused by news media in the sarin gas attack in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture. The network is planning to launch actions for the symbiotic society, including the measures to deter the hate demonstrations. In addition, it is planning to deliver a program on the ‘niconico live’ internet television to debate racism and related issues especially with “conservatives.”
