Jenkins signing document STORYLINE: Nearly 40 years after he allegedly left his Army unit and defected to communist North Korea, Sergeant Charles Jenkins surrendered to US military authorities at the US Army Camp Zama, Kanagawa Prefecture, in Japan on Saturday. Looking frail but determined, Jenkins, accompanied by his Japanese wife and two North Korea-born daughters, stood at attention and saluted as he was received by military police at the gate of this base just south of Tokyo. He said: "Sir, I'm Sergeant Jenkins and I'm reporting." "You are now under the control of the U.S. Army," Lieutenant Colonel Paul Nigara told him in response. Army officials said Jenkins, now 64, would be put back on active duty, issued an ID card and given a uniform and haircut pending legal action. His reprocessing back into the Army was expected to take a week or so. No date has yet been determined for his court martial, which was expected to be held here. The court martial was expected to take five or six days. "He'll be treated with dignity and fairness," said Army spokesman Major John Amberg. Jenkins is charged with defecting to the North, where he lived for 39 years, and faces a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted. While in the communist state, he made propaganda broadcasts, played devilish Americans in anti-U.S. films and taught English at a school for spies. The Rich Square, North Carolina native is widely expected to strike a plea bargain with military authorities to avert imprisonment. He has met several times in recent weeks with an Army-appointed attorney to prepare his case. The attorney also accompanied Jenkins Saturday. 041103#007 Name: 041103#007 Title: JAPAN JENKINS EVN M Type: Japan In point: 04:39:24.02 Out point: 04:42:46.00 Duration: 00:03:22.00 Clip Locations 037-202 Tape ID 7436 Source APTN/RTV Notes on DVC-PRO 037-202 Dopesheet EVN M-Japan Jenkins Country: JAPAN Source: GBAPTN /GBRTV Shotlist: AP-3 Nov 1.

Various of Jenkins reporting at Camp Zama after 39 years Dopesheet: The court-martial of Sgt Charles Robert Jenkins opened Wednesday on charges he deserted his U.S. Army unit in 1965 and defected to North Korea. Jenkins, who also faces charges of aiding the enemy, encouraging other service people to desert and encouraging disloyalty, was being tried at the U.S. Army's Camp Zama, outside of Tokyo. After living in North Korea for 39 years, Jenkins turned himself into U.S. military authorities on Sept. 11, two months after he left Pyongyang to seek medical treatment in Japan.Jenkins, in full uniform for the court-martial, was widely expected to plead guilty to one of the lesser charges in return for a lighter sentence. Japan has been urging the U.S. government to be lenient with the 64-year-old so he can live in Japan with his Japanese wife and their two daughters. The court-martial brings to a close one of the Army's longest desertion sagas. Though Army deserters from the 1940s are still being sought, no deserter or desertion suspect has surrendered after as long an absence as Jenkins. Raised in poverty, the Rich Square, North Carolina, native joined the Army as a teenager, received a Good Conduct Award after his first tour of duty in South Korea in 1961 and rose to the rank of sergeant. But according to the Army, he deserted his unit along the Demilitarized Zone on Jan. 5, 1965. While in North Korea, he participated in propaganda broadcasts, played an American villain in at least one anti-U.S. movie, and is believed to have taught English at a school for espionage agents. If not for a surprising turn of events, Jenkins may never have left. The Pentagon confirmed in the mid-1980s that he and three other suspected American deserters were living in Pyongyang, North Korea's capital. But Jenkins' situation became the focus of intense international negotiations two years ago, when North Korean leader Kim Jong Il acknowledged that his wife, Hitomi Soga, was abducted by spies in 1978 and taken to North Korea against her will. She married Jenkins, nearly 20 years her senior, in 1980. Kim's confession, in an unprecedented summit with Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, ended decades of denial and opened the way for Soga and four other abductees to return to Japan for an emotional homecoming. It created a crisis for Jenkins, however. Aware that he might be turned over to the U.S. Army, Jenkins and his daughters _ Mika, 21, and Brinda, 19 _ stayed behind. Shortly after Soga left for Japan, Jenkins even granted an interview from a hospital bed in Pyongyang begging for his wife to come back. Soga remained, but Koizumi _ responding to an outpouring of public support for her _ traveled to the North again earlier this year to make a personal plea for Jenkins to join her in Japan or a neutral third country. Though reluctant, Jenkins agreed to a meeting in Indonesia in July. Less than two weeks later, the family was flown to Tokyo, where Jenkins was hospitalized for an abdominal disorder. Out of deference to Japanese public opinion, U.S. military officials allowed Jenkins to turn himself in, rather than be arrested. Wartime desertion is a capital offense, but deserters are rarely dealt the full weight of the law. According to an Army report compiled in 2002, most are simply drummed out of the service. The last American deserter to be executed was Pvt. Eddie Slovik, who was shot by a firing squad from his own unit in the closing months of World War II. 041103#007 World War II. This year, an Air Force deserter on the lam for 22 years was captured, demoted and given a discharge without jail time. But in a higher-profile case, National Guard Staff Sgt. Camilo Mejia, who refused to return to his unit to fight in Iraq, was convicted of desertion in May and sentenced to a year in confinement. 041103#035 Name: 041103#035 Title: JAPAN JENKINS COURT NHK EVNY Type: Japan In point: 09:30:20.22 Out point: 09:31:26.10 Duration: 00:01:05.18 Clip Locations 037-202 Tape ID 7440 Source NHK Notes on DVC-PRO 037-202 JENKINS COURT MARTIAL - COURT SKETCH Dopesheet Jenkins Court EVNY Date Shot: 03-NOV-2004 Location: KANAGAWA Country: JAPAN Source: JPNHK 16:27:00 bus arriving 16:27:11 military men getting off bus 16:27:17 vs empty court room 16:27:28 sketch of Charles Robert Jenkins 16:27:51 aerial shot Dopesheet: The court martial of alleged US Army deserter Charles Robert Jenkins, the husband of repatriated Japanese abductee Hitomi Soga, opens today.

The fate if the American has become the focus of intense interest in Japan because of his wife Hitomi Soga, who was one of more than a dozen Japanese citizens abducted by North Korean agents in the 1970s and 80s and taken to North Korea. She and Jenkins met soon after she arrived in the communist state in 1978. Soga was allowed to return to Japan after a historic Japan-North Korea summit in Pyongyang in 2002, but Jenkins and the couple's daughters remained in the North until this summer.

40854 WWII JAPANESE AMERICAN INTERNMENT PROPAGANDA FILM "JAPANESE RELOCATION"
Japanese Relocation (1942) is a short film produced by the U.S. Office of War Information and distributed by the War Activities Committee of the Motion Picture Industry. It is a propaganda film, justifying and explaining Japanese American internment on the West Coast during World War II. It is narrated by Milton Eisenhower.<p><p>The film starts by asserting that, while many Japanese-Americans were loyal, in early 1942 the West Coast was a potential combat zone, and the government did not know what the Japanese population would do if the US were invaded. Furthermore the film noted that there were Japanese-American communities near militarily significant sites, such as shipyards.<p><p>So, the film states, the Japanese were democratically and humanely evacuated to relocation centers in the desert. The film also states that most Japanese went voluntarily, and felt that it was a sacrifice they should make as loyal citizens.<p><p>The internment of Japanese Americans in the United States was the forced relocation and incarceration during World War II of between 110,000 and 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry who lived on the Pacific in camps in the interior of the country. Sixty-two percent of the internees were United States citizens. The U.S. government ordered the removal of Japanese Americans in 1942, shortly after Imperial Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.<p><p>Such incarceration was applied unequally due to differing population concentrations and, more importantly, state and regional politics: more than 110,000 Japanese Americans, nearly all who lived on the West Coast, were forced into interior camps, but in Hawaii, where the 150,000-plus Japanese Americans comprised over one-third of the population, only 1,200 to 1,800 were interned. The forced relocation and incarceration has been determined to have resulted more from racism and discrimination among white people on the West Coast, rather than any military danger posed by the Japanese Americans.<p><p>President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized the deportation and incarceration with Executive Order 9066, issued February 19, 1942, which allowed regional military commanders to designate "military areas" from which "any or all persons may be excluded." This power was used to declare that all people of Japanese ancestry were excluded from the entire West Coast, including all of California and much of Oregon, Washington and Arizona, except for those in government camps. Approximately 5,000 Japanese Americans voluntarily relocated outside the exclusion zone and some 5,500 community leaders arrested after Pearl Harbor were already in custody, but the majority of mainland Japanese Americans were evacuated (forcibly relocated) from their West Coast homes during the spring of 1942. The United States Census Bureau assisted the internment efforts by providing confidential neighborhood information on Japanese Americans. The Bureau denied its role for decades, but this was finally proven in 2007. In 1944, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the removal by ruling against Fred Korematsu's appeal for violating an exclusion order. The Court limited its decision to the validity of the exclusion orders, avoiding the issue of the incarceration of U.S. citizens with no due process.<p><p>In 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed into law the Civil Liberties Act, which apologized for the internment on behalf of the U.S. government and authorized a payment of $20,000 to each individual camp survivor. The legislation admitted that government actions were based on "race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership". The U.S. government eventually disbursed more than $1.6 billion in reparations to 82,219 Japanese Americans who had been interned and their heirs.<p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

Reverse shot of photographers taking pictures of family APTN 11. Family leaves lobby STORYLINE: An American who allegedly deserted his Army unit 40 years ago to defect to North Korea left the communist state on Friday for the first time since 1965. Arriving in Indonesia with his two daughters, Charles Robert Jenkins hugged and kissed his Japanese wife, Hitomi Soga, in a tearful reunion on an airport runway. Jenkins landed at Jakarta's Sukarno-Hatta International Airport on a plane that Japan sent to North Korea to pick him up. Indonesia was chosen as a venue for the reunion because it has no extradition treaty with the United States, and it was considered safe from US prosecution. Hitomi Soga, buried her face in Jenkins' shoulder and embraced him. Soga then turned to each of her two daughters and hugged them as Jenkins looked on with tears running down his face. Abducted by North Korean spies in 1978, Soga had not seen her family since 2002, when North Korea allowed her to travel to Japan. The family was taken by police escort to a Jakarta hotel, where children gave them each a bouquet of tiger lilies. The family waved at 200 journalists camped out at the hotel. A smiling Jenkins said "I'm very happy". Jenkins was serving in a US-army unit based on the Demilitarised Zone between the two Koreas when he disappeared during a routine patrol in 1965. He met and married Soga in 1980 in Pyongyang. Soga spent nearly a quarter-century in North Korea, before leader Kim Jong Il agreed with Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi two years ago to allow her and four other kidnap victims to return home. The US government still considers Jenkins to be a military deserter, and the 64-year-old has refused to be reunited with his wife in Japan because of the possibility he could be extradited to stand trial in the US. Indonesia, which has no extradition treaty with the US, was picked as the venue for the family reunion after Washington rebuffed Tokyo's requests that it refrain from prosecuting Jenkins. Indonesia agreed to facilitate the reunion as a humanitarian gesture, Foreign Minister Hassan Wirajuda said. Critics accuse Koizumi of timing the reunion to offset sagging support in public opinion surveys before parliamentary elections this weekend. The government denies it has a political agenda. However, the reunion also has raised the possibility of warmer ties between North Korea and Japan. Soga has said she will try to persuade her husband to join her in Japan, despite his fears of US legal action.
