Many peace loving people around the world hope for the safe return of the hostages, and for the successful struggle of the Japanese people to prevent Japan from following the Imperialist path taken by the US. Many Japanese mothers and fathers are certain to suffer in the future.

News aired on Aljazeera ----------------------------------------- Three Japanese hostages released in Iraq Thursday 15 April 2004, 16:52 Makka Time, 13:52 GMT Three Japanese hostages held in Iraq, have been freed, following calls for their release by the Association of Muslim Scholars (AMS) - the highest Sunni authority in the country. The three were kidnapped last week by a group who threatened to kill them unless the Japanese government withdraws its troops from Iraq. In a videotape aired on Aljazeera, the released hostages, who appeared unharmed, were shown sitting in the office of the AMS. An AMS spokesperson said the organisation had "called upon everybody to do their best in order to secure the release of the hostages" and that they did not "negotiate or mediate directly". "We further call on Arabs and Muslims to prevent any more bloodshed in Falluja", added Abd al-Salam al-Kubaisi, a leading member of the organisation. He said the AMS hoped the released hostages would return to Falluja to witness the tragedy that had occurred there and report on it. More than 600 people have been killed since the US ambush on the town began more than a week ago. One of the freed captives is a freelance journalist, Soichiro Koriyama, 32. The other two are Noriaki Imai, 18, who wanted to look into the effects of depleted uranium weapons and aid worker Nahoko Takato, 34. Staunch ally Their families had clung to hopes that their loved ones would be released, even though the killing of an Italian captive on Wednesday raised new fears for their safety. The three were released into the care of AMS officials A Japanese foreign ministry official confirmed that three hostages had been freed and were safe. Japan, like Italy, has been a staunch supporter of the United States in Iraq and both have resolved to stand firm. But the worsening security situation in Iraq has fuelled calls in Japan to withdraw its troops, whose activities are limited by Japanese law to "non-combat zones". Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi has repeatedly said he will not pull out the 550 Japanese soldiers engaged in a reconstruction mission in Samawa, southern Iraq, despite the threats. |
