The magazine Shukan Kin'yobi (Weekly Friday) said Saturday it has received numerous complaints about its interview in Pyongyang with the family of Hitomi Soga, one of five Japanese abducted 24 years ago by North Korea who returned to Japan for the first time on Oct. 15.
The magazine received about 110 faxes and 560 e-mails on Thursday and Friday, with 60 percent of the messages criticizing the interview and 40 percent supporting it.
Soga's husband, Charles Robert Jenkins, 62, and the couple's daughters, aged 19 and 17, told the magazine that they at least want her to return to Pyongyang International Airport so they can discuss their future as a family.
