Nearly
1,000 people gathered for an event in Osaka on June 21 to demand that the
chairperson and two board members of Japan’s public broadcasting company NHK
resign for making controversial remarks.
MOMII
Katsuto expressed at his first press conference as an NHK chairperson that
war-time brothels existed in every country, not only Japan, and his political
gaffs continued flowing every so often since. HYAKUTA Naoki, a board member and
a popular novelist, claimed that countries around the world ignored the Chinese
propaganda that Japanese troops carried out a massacre in Nanjing.
Professor Emeritus of Tokyo University DAIGO Satoshi
pointed out at the event that it is abnormal for a public television station to
only release news as an implemental body for Prime Minister Abe's
administration.
IKEDA
Eriko, a former director, and NAGATA Kozo, a former chief producer--both of
NHK--made a report on complications that ABE Shinzo (chief cabinet secretary at
the time) applied pressure on NHK in 2001 to revise its documentary on comfort
women.
SAKAGUCHI
Norio, a lawyer, talked about a legality of a concrete measure to suspend fee
payment for NHK viewers because the company is failing to observe its code of
ethics. He remarked that only citizens' power could help set NHK straight and
laid out a framework of a legal team.
