    Now as though the news isn't bad enough. Now no foreign spectators will be allowed at the games lol. Japan really doing a knockout job here.

    I already knew Japan didn't want the games. But their xenophobia could have been just a little less obvious.

    Either all spectators or no spectators. You can practice safe measures as they have done in other venues.

    This goes against the spirit of the Olympic Games and frankly they don't deserve it!! The IOC should just cancel the games at this point.

    You may not be able to see it from overseas, but please see the comment section of the 1st YouTube of former Japanese prosecutor Nobuo Gohara and the official YouTube comment section of Tokyo Metropolitan Govermet for details.
    Even now, the handle names of the examinees, which are inconvenient for the Ministry of Justice staff, are constantly called by trolls and the trolls call another persons as the handle names of the examinees , continue to incite suicide against them,and make operations that reduce the impression of them　in the examination thread of 5channel“予備試験スレ ”which is the exchange net bullet　in board of the examinees.
    　There are Ministry of Justice staff in Japan that are not necessary in a society that only keep pulling the examinees' legs.
    　I've never heard of any other crazy exam where the exam organizer desperately interferes with one student's exam. Moreover, this test is a test to select Japanese lawyers. In this respect, Japan's judiciary lags behind the United States and England.

    Why don't they just choose someone to be the more appealing, well-respected "face" of the committee, like Kimiko Date-Crum (tennis), Koji Murofushi (hammer), or Ichiro (baseball)?

    For those of you out in the West, what the man said isn't even that bad. The over-reaction from the international community shows a complete lack of cultural literacy. NBC needs to do some serious research.

    But the fact is, women do talk to much. I see them at my work every day just yapping away 🤷‍♂️

    In response to Mr.Mori's remarks on human rights riolations at the Japanese Olympic Games, I wanted to convey the fact that there are injustices and human rights riolations against one examinee by a more serious authority in Japan,and that there is a judicial crisis.😊
    　Three years ago in Japan, a staff member who was the organizer of the bar examination ,Ministry of Justice staff arbitrarily exposed the scores of the examinees' primary exams and the contents of almost all the subjects of the secondary exam treatises to the net , and relentlessly instigated the victim for bad taste. It was an incident in which he continued to perform manipulations to reduce the victim's impression and dropped it with personality attacks such as discomfort and death.
    　In addition, in order to eliminate the anxiety , the organizer uses a mobile phone to monitor the victim on a daily basis by vandalism, eavesdropping, voyeurism, grasping the location information, and continues to incite suicide relentlessly for the destruction of evidence on the net. By continuing to do so for the examinee, The Troll continues to incite suicide against victim or by unnaturally sticking and manipulating the impression, it interferes with the examination and 　　the victim continues to fall into the examination. ..
    It's like a prosecutor keeps trapping an innocent person by self-protection, and there was a serious and serious human rights violation.

    　行政や政治のトップに立つ人はよくご自身の立場を考え発言や行動を律することができる人でなければならないのに、自覚してないでやってしまう人も中にはいますよね。
    発言だけでも厳しく批判されるのは、権力はあくまでも法律学上のいわゆる立憲民主主義では国民の為に行使しなければならないからです。　　
    　人間は精神的にも能力的にも完全とは言えない以上、権力は独占状態になっていたら恣意的に濫用されやすい性質があり、かつ一度人権が侵害されたら重大な被害を受けないし受け続け、回復が困難な場合もあります。そのために国民が不断のチェックをしていかなければならないと思います。
    　私が体験した中で一番凄まじかったのは、司法試験予備試験の主催者である法務省職員の１受験生に対する人権侵害です。
    　コロナ禍で人の心と体はむしばまれている中、自殺者は今増えていると言われています。
    　しかしながら、一方でSNSでは今も卑劣に自殺を煽り続け命を奪おうとする輩がいることも事実です😊。　　　　今、日本では木村花さんの事件が起き、ネット上の誹謗中傷や自殺煽りが社会問題になっているにもかかわらず、いまだに私がよく見ている法曹という裁判官、検察官、弁護士を目指す法務省が主催する予備試験という試験の受験生が集う５ちゃんねるの｢予備試験スレ｣では１受験生のハンドルネームを名指しであげて｢死ねや｣とほぼ毎日執拗に自殺を煽り続けている荒らしがいます。
    　本来、制止しなければならない立場を目指す受験生のスレでこのような荒らしが暴れていることは深刻な事態だと思っています。
    　しかしながら、もっと深刻なことはその１受験生の自殺をほぼ毎日必死に煽り続けていたり、携帯を監視し続けていたりする荒らしは本当の受験生ではないということですね。　　　

    　そこに、今の司法試験予備試験の不正の闇、法務省職員の不正の闇があります。
    　つまり、三年前の法務省職員の不正の口封じか、証拠隠滅の為に今当時の被害者受験生が必死に自殺を煽り続けられていたり、粘着して受験妨害の嫌がらせを受けていたりしていたのでしょう。携帯を常時監視され続けていたのは、加害者にとっては被害者は不安材料ですから、被害者の動向を監視せざるをえなかったのでしょう。被害者は不正の体験者ですから。

    Governor Cuomo and his administration must be investigated from top to bottom and he must be stripped of his emergency powers. Justice needs to be brought for the grieving families who have been ignored to protect Governor Cuomo and his Democrat allies in the Legislature.

    According to her account, Ziawudun was transported back to the same facility as her previous detention, in Kunes county, but the site had been significantly developed, she said. Buses were lined up outside offloading new detainees "non-stop".

    The women had their jewellery confiscated. Ziawudun's earrings were yanked out, she said, causing her ears to bleed, and she was herded into a room with a group of women. Among them was an elderly woman who Ziawudun would later befriend.

    It’s also been reported that he just asked an old buddy of his to take over instead, which falls foiled of transparency and accountability rules in what is, after all, a state-organized matter. That move was also swiftly shot down.

    To be honest, this is all a bit of theatre, given the very real possibility of the Olympics being unable to proceed anyway, even at this stage. Nobody knows.
