Dr. Thomas Bach
President of the International Olympic Committee
Tokyo, September 22, 2015
Dear President Thomas Bach,
As you know, my interview article, "An honorable retreat from the
Tokyo Olympic Games" was published in the September 2015 issue of the
magazine "Monthly Japan" (Gekkan Nihon). The same magazine in its
October 2015 issue has published shocking articles revealing further
serious irregularities regarding the Tokyo Olympic Games.
The headlines are significant:
"We assert again that Japan should retreat from the Tokyo Olympic Games."
"[Former] Prime Minister Mori, we've had enough of you !" said Masakuni
Murakami, former president of the LDP members of the House of
Councilors.
"This all started with the false assurance made by Prime Minister Abe !"
said Creative Director Azusa Takano.
I am convinced of the far reaching and decisive impact of these articles.
The IOC cannot much longer ignore the increasing demand to send neutral
scientists to Japan in order to ensure the health and safety of Olympic
athletes and visitors.
The initial commitments of the Tokyo Olympic Games have now been all
broken. The IOC could disqualify Tokyo. Japan is now obliged to choose
between an honorable retreat and a shameful disqualification. The
future of the Olympic Games is at stake.
A decision is urgently needed.
With highest and warmest regards,
Mitsuhei Murata
