Urgent Statement on Safety of Life of TANAKA under Accusation
by MIYAZAKI Manabu
TANAKA Yoshimi, now confined in the prison of Chonburi, Thailand, is likely to be killed.
By now we have found that a conspiracy is being carried out to actually eliminate TANAKA in prison in a few days.
The manipulator of the conspiracy, or, I should say, our enemy is not the US Secret Service this time, but the prison governor of Chonburi.
Though I cannot conceal the Deep Throat, I got the above surprising information from an extremely realiable source in Chonburi. So we immediately held a meeting for urgent countermeasures.
We have also heard that the reason why TANAKA is still alive is only because the prison governor is trying to find a way to avoid the resposibility for the conspiracy after TANAKA is killed.
As we know from Kiyomi-san's report, the prison governor and his men never stop interference these days in many ways with her activities such as communications with TANAKA or visits to see him in prison.
We have only two weeks left before the decision of the court is read out. While more and more people in Thailand are getting interested in the TANAKA trial, those people have started to think more frimly that he will be found not guilty.
Then, when TANAKA is actually found guilty of nothing, it is unavoidable that the whole prison of Chonburi gets further accusations of various lawbreaking treatments inside the prison. In addition, you have to remember it is not so unusual in this prison that some prisoners are found "dead" every month.
Receiving the information today, more than one zorro-me.com member made a flight from Japan to Thailand. And in Thailand
tomorrow, Mr. WATANABE Yasushi, author of the book titled 'Fetters,' will spare the time to go to Chonburi to meet TANAKA and warn him that his life is actually in danger. Then Mr. WATANABE wll meet the press in Thailand including UZAKI Kiyomi-san to call their attention to any unfamiliar movements no matter small they are.
I am not sure we are of any help to save the life of TANAKA because he is in prison and his (and our) enemy is the prison governor. As we are just outside supporters, we cannot go into the prison. I must recognize that it would not be suspicious if TANAKA had been killed by now.
But let me tell one more thing. That is, "What is the fucking Japanese Embassy doing?" The shameful organization has done nothing for the safety of TANAKA, and is still doing nothing whatsoever. So I am going to make a representation tomorrow through an attorney to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that the Ministry should issue instructions to the Japanese Embassy in Thailand from the viewpoint of protection of the Japanese.
To tell the truth, we at first thought that the present interference by the prison governor is his last struggling harassment. We though nothing of it.
Rather, we were kept more alert to the move of the US Secret Service. But from now on we have to watch out much more attentively for the conspiracy of the narrow-minded person of power who has lost his face.
All I can do is pray for the safety of TANAKA.
