‘August 6 Hiroshima/Nagasaki Memorial Gathering’ in Germany ~ Shin Su-gok also participated



 
“Hiroshima/Nagasaki no kai” held a memorial gathering to commemorate the 72nd anniversary of atomic bombing at 7 p.m. on Aug. 6 at Hiroshima/Nagasaki Park in Cologne. In addition to the message from the mayor of Cologne (member of Mayors for Peace), the head of the park's district (Greens party) also addressed the crowd. Shin Su-gok (political activist), who we invited as a special guest from Japan, made a powerful speech. While giving a silent prayer each before the monument, SHIMIZU Yoshiro (president of Cologne Tenri Culture Workshop) continued playing traditional Japanese wind instrument Sho. This year, because the Toyo Art Museum is under construction, the pond’s water level was extremely low, and the coast was cloudy with contamination. So the participants abandoned the annual Toro-nagashi (flowing lights), and decided to just put the lanterns on the fence of the pond. Although it was disappointing, it was a good time of requiescat in its own way under the full moon. (By MULLER SHIBA Reiko)

‘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.”
