About this Petition Pledge

It's been almost two years since the politically motivated arrest of Junichi and Toru — the Greenpeace activists known as the Tokyo Two — for their roles in exposing the corruption and lies woven into the fabric that holds the whaling industry together. As the trial began this week, Greenpeace USA was one of many offices worldwide supporting the Tokyo Two at a Japanese embassy. We delivered new information to Japanese officials and demanded that the Japanese government respect the civil and political rights of its citizens, Junichi and Toru.

Before the verdict has even been rendered, a working group of the United Nations Human Rights Council has already ruled that the defendants' human rights have been breached by the Japanese justice system. A quarter of a million individuals, dozens of legal experts and human rights groups, such as Amnesty International, have all expressed equal concern.

Show your support for Junichi and Toru by taking action today. Tell the Japanese Embassy that you stand beside Junichi and Toru as co-defendants.
