Free Speech for Tibet
The Olympic Torch Relay is scheduled to come to Nagano on Saturday April 26th. If I can wiggle out of a ryokan assoc. meeting that morning, I want to take my sons and go cheer on the torch. Of course, I will also take a Tibet flag in honor of the Dalai Lama and his peace movement. He touched down in Narita on his way to my hometown of Seattle, and commented that he supports the Beijing Olympics, but also supports Freedom of Speech for Tibet. Meanwhile, today's Yomiuri newspaper headline talks about the Japanese Government using anti-Hooligan laws to keep out torch protestors. Should we be worried about Freedom of Speech in Japan as well?
4月２６市に五輪聖火が長野に来る予定。息子達を連れて、応援しに行く計画を立ている。チベットの旗を持って。ダライラマが成田経由で私の地元のシアトルに行きまして、「北京五輪を支持するが、チベットの為に言論の自由も」と仰ったそうです。賛成です。差し当たっては、今日の読売新聞の大見出しによると、聖火抗議者の入国を断る為にフーリガン法を使うそうです。日本での言論の自由が心配！
