Generalised Ogg's conjecture for rational cuspidal torsion

Let NN be a positive integer. Let X0(N)X_0(N) be the modular curve of level NN over Q\mathbb{Q}, let J0(N)J_0(N) be its Jacobian, and let CNC_N be the image in J0(N)J_0(N) of the degree-zero divisors supported at the cusps. Define the rational cuspidal subgroup by

CN(Q)=CNJ0(N)(Q).C_N(\mathbb{Q})=C_N\cap J_0(N)(\mathbb{Q}).

Generalised Ogg's conjecture. For every positive integer NN,

CN(Q)=J0(N)(Q)tors.C_N(\mathbb{Q})=J_0(N)(\mathbb{Q})_{\operatorname{tors}}.

The finiteness of CNC_N implies the inclusion from left to right; the conjecture asserts that every rational torsion point of the Jacobian is cuspidal. It generalises Ogg's conjecture, which was proved for prime level by Mazur, while the stated generalisation is not resolved in the supplied source.
