I have some great news to report

Today, I have some great news to report. Miss MH, whom I mentioned in the recent past, has been released and she kept her faith! This was her third time being confined. Once again, the police did not do their job. Although they actually came to the confinement place after her fiancé and a church lawyer lodged an official complaint, according to her testimony, they refused to help her. She told the officers that her parents were trying to confine her and the police had to help her. She pleaded to the officers, but they said, “This is a family problem and we can’t intervene. You should discuss it within your family.” She said to the officers, “Please don’t abandon me!” But the officers left her there.

Imagine the feeling of utter helplessness she must have experienced. Ultimately, after almost two months, she was able to negotiate with her parents, agreeing that if they would let her go, she would tell the police she had not been confined. So, although it’s not a total victory in terms of being a good case for us legally, it’s still a victory in terms of her personal faith. We believe our Japanese church’s efforts on her behalf paid off by signaling to the family and faith-breakers that there could be big trouble for them.

We also had some good coverage in the Korean media from a press conference we held in New York right after the positive Korean TV documentary I told you about last time. You can see some of the results at our special focus web site http://stopjapanabductions.org.
