Japanese Newspaper Mainichi: "Alliance for Rescuing Yoko Kaneko" Appeals in Kouchi County, Japan
(Clearwisdom.net) The Japanese newspaper Mainichi from Kouchi County reported on
August 9th, 2003: In order to rescue 38-year-old KanekoYoko, a former resident of
Niigata-ken who is currently being detained in a labor camp in China, members of the "Alliance
for Rescuing KanekoYoko" visited Kouchi County Government on the 8th as a part of
their appeal trip around the country. They delivered an appeal letter to the chief of the county
government secretary section in which they requested that Kouchi County call upon the Japanese
government to urge the Chinese government to release Yoko Kaneko. According to these members, Yoko
Kaneko, whose nationality is Chinese, went back to China in May of last year, and was arrested when
distributing Falun Gong flyers, and she is currently being held at a labor camp. The Alliance members who met with journalists pointed out that aside from Yoko Kaneko,
other detained Falun Gong practitioners are also being treated with violence and persecution in
China. They hope more people can learn about the current persecution against Yoko Kaneko and other
Falun Gong practitioners in China, and to rescue Yoko Kaneko as soon as possible. These Alliance members
will collect signatures in support of their cause at the Kouchi County train station until August 10th.
