Thanks from the Tokyo Two
It's been a long an intense week for the Tokyo Two in Japan. They are on trial and facing up to 10 years in jail for exposing a whaling scandal (read all about the scandal here). They are encouraged by all the supportive comments they have been getting - on facebook, twitter and our blogs.
Junichi asked me to post this response from him.
"I'm very happy and excited to receive all the warm messages from all over the world. The last 4 days of trial have finished, leaving the team here in Japan feeling very good. The court has asked two current crew members of the whaling fleet to come testify about the embezzlement of whale meat on May 14th. We are putting the whaling on trial and winning support among not only the judges but also the domestic media also. Thank you all for your support!"
Junichi and Toru are joined by half a million voices calling for justice! Have you added your voice yet?
Here's a message from both of them - to those of you who have!
