shortwave radio broadcasts to put abductees on alert for a possible U.S.
airstrike against the reclusive communist state.
In the emergency
program, the Investigation Commission on Missing Japanese Probably Related to
North Korea called on abductees to be always prepared for an emergency situation
and prioritize ensuring their safety.
The program was started on Sunday
in the group’s "Shiokaze" shortwave radio broadcast service.

The organization is considering live broadcasts on the latest

programs. Speech [button link] (via Artie Bigley, DXLD)
