On October 6th 1949, Iva Toguri was sentenced in San Francisco to 10 years imprisonment and fined $10,000 for treason. At the time she was probably the most famous female broadcaster in America. During the war, Iva had refused to renounce her U.S citizenship and was put into a radio program that broadcast transcripts written for her to Allied troops stationed in the pacific. Iva was a victim and labeled "Tokyo Rose" by a U.S. news correspondent after the war had ended. She was tried for treason, falsely found guilty, and stripped of her U.S. citizenship. This month, on Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah Dunia, Umapagan Ampikaipakan tells of true story of the agony Iva Toguri suffered during a time that America was fighting a war on two fronts.
