道新記者の「即時解放求める」 新聞協会が声明

特設ページでは、これまで匿名で報じてきたのは「拘束下にある本人の安全確保を最優先し、報道のあり方を慎重に検討してきたため」と説明。「政府の指示に基づいて取材や情報収集を行うことは一切ない」などとした上で「拘束から1カ月が経過し、依然として解放の見通しが立たないことを踏まえ、この点を実名で明確に社会に訴えていく必要があると判断した」と表明した。

実名での報道については、今井記者本人と家族も同意しているといい、「北海道新聞社は、今井記者の安全と権利が守られるよう、引き続き関係機関と連携しながら、一日も早い帰国の実現に向けて全力で取り組んでいく」と記した。

一方、今井記者の家族の代理人弁護士は12日、報道各社に「家族は依然、事態の詳細を把握できていない状況で、精神的な負担も非常に大きいため、現段階では個別の取材に応じることを考えていない」などとするコメントを出した。

Russia justifies JT management, claiming ``Japan is a hostile act''

Russian Foreign Ministry Director of Information Zakharova asserted that Japan Tobacco's (JT) Russian operations were placed under the control of a Russian company as a ``response to Japan's blatantly hostile acts.'' President Putin signed a presidential decree that placed seven JT Russian subsidiaries under temporary control, effectively meaning that JT lost its management rights. Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Akazawa is demanding an immediate withdrawal of the measures.
