Vincent Fichot (Twitter: @FichotVincent) is on a hunger strike at Sendagaya JR station since July 10th after years of unsuccessful efforts to see his children who were kidnapped by his mother in Japan on August 10th 2018. I encourage you to read about Vincent and the many fathers who have been separated from their children by a cruel \u00a0justice system, oblivious of an international convention \u00a0ratified by Japan in 1994, in Marco Spola’s blog<\/a>. The Washington Post also published an\u00a0article<\/a>\u00a0that describes well the situation.<\/p>\n

I know personally another father in the same situation. Children should not be forced by a resentful parent to grow up like if the other one\u2019s existence was denied.<\/p>\n

I hope the exposure by the media thanks to this courageous father\u2019s efforts will encourage foreign governments to get more involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
