I have not gotten to follow this case in the past week or so, and it is not clear by this article, but your comments infer it.

Is Jenkins in Japan now?

Oh, yes, he arrived (in Japan) at least 10 days ago. More or less spirited away from three N.K. agents in Jakarta who kept demanding so see him down there (Japanese govt. tugged enough to keep him from going back over to North Korea).

He was in much better shape getting off the plane from Pyongyang in Jakarta, than he was when he struggled at Haneda (Tokyo) afterwards. Either a heck of a show, or the guy is going down hill fast. There are many skeptics. I am told Jenkins has turned to strong drink and violence in his family, probably due to hating North Korea on the one hand, and on the other not knowing what Uncle Sam would do to him. Rightly or wrongly--others can judge that--he is suffering no doubt.

FYI, the photo above is him getting off the plane in Tokyo the week before last. His two daughers took off their Kim Il Sung badges (they are behind him in white). He is with his wife, who was kidnapped from Japan to North Korea (her mother killed in the process) some 25 years ago.
