Summary of the Hyogo Prefecture Issue | Where to Start Reading—A Guide to Chronologies, Institutional Explanations, and In-depth Articles

More than two years have passed since the distribution of the whistleblower document in Hyogo Prefecture in March 2024, and the issues have accumulated widely, ranging from the Hundred-Article Committee, third-party committees, and criminal proceedings to amendments to the Whistleblower Protection Act. Because I have published over 300 related articles on this note, it has become difficult to know where to start reading.

This page serves as a guide. I have listed the articles you should read first, categorized by purpose. If you bookmark this page, you will be able to trace which issue a new development belongs to when it occurs.
