Kyodo News cut off the significant part of the press conference by Dr. Keith Baverstock held in Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan on 11/20/2014.
Dr. Keith Baverstock, a Docent in the Department of Environmental Science at the University of Eastern Finland, criticized UNSCEAR(United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation)’s report on Fukushima accident, which announced the radiation effect on ecology is negligible in Fukushima.
Kyodo News reported that Dr. Keith Baverstock stated the report is based on biased data and released overly late, which cannot be considered to be scientific.
However in the actual press conference, Dr. Keith Baverstock also stated UNSCEAR consists of the members from those countries which economically reply on nuclear power, and also is sponsored by those countries. They also “closely” collaborate to make Fukushima related reports with WHO and IAEA, none of their reports are sufficiently independent. He ended the speech to say “UN shall dissolve UNSCEAR”.
It is not known why Kyodo News censored those most important parts of the press conference.
