No. They were abducted....then stayed there (or at least trappped in the
system that prevented them from recontacting their relatives) so many years
because they were "forgotten" by their country.
A country that didn't see the point in improving their relations with
North-Korea over decades, and whose government went as far treating the
relatives of abductees of mythomanes when they talked about North-Korea.
Then one day, Koizumi needed something to deter attention from some pension
and bank failure affairs, or whatever. He couldn't do a war against Saddam
Hussein as that's not so popular in Japan and the role was already taken.
He went to North-Korea to hired the 5 ones, giving a little commission to
their manager, traded with them the opportunity of rapatriating with their
families against their playing/reading only the official version. The show
started. Like circus games in Roman times.

Other abductees' families are still treated as if they were dumbies
inventing stories to make poor Koizumi lose his time and precious image.

Maybe not. I don't think the date of election was fixed taking into account
Jenkins' schedule...but the contrary, who knows ? It's not 100% sure that
the timing was arranged.

I don't think Japanese governments present and past have passed the scrutiny
of any relative of abductees. They knew they were taken for fools during all
those years and have seen the real face of their leaders. To get their
relatives back, the 5 ones' family. they certainly accepted to shut their
mouths except to read the official version speeches to the media.
