Three comrades who had been jailed since July 5th were released at 9:30 (GMT+9) this morning (16th) !
Their period of detention was shorter than 23 days, the common length in the police state Japan. We believe that it was thanks to your attention and solidarity from the world over.
From now on, we will demand compensation for the destroyed truck and continue to protest against the unlawful crackdowns before and after the G8. Please keep an eye on coming events.
In Solidarity

3 of our friends unjustly arrested at the demonstration against G8 summit on 5th July in Sapporo. One of the arrested is actually an indymedia activist who is organizing sound actions and a member of G8 Media Network which is organized by non-profit and non-govermental various grassroots media. The exerciser of overwhelming violence was the police. For instance, they stopped the track forcely, broke the window with policeman’s club etc, and dragged out the driver while hanging him. This situation was exposed as Japanese police brutality again, reported by independent media.

While most of Japanese media coverage focusing around the summit, one of homeless activists in Osaka had quietly, unfairly arrested on 4th. Alleged that his mobile phone ownership and user was different in name. Even though his group from Osaka had been planned to come and join the poverty & labour unit of couter G8 Action Network but they cannot in order to resucue him just after the liberation of another one who was also arrested by tiny bureaucratic mistake last month. All of them are unreasonably trivial things. Suppression of dissent, obviously.

We denounce suppression to the sound demonstration and homeless activists by the police, and demand immediate releasing of all. On 12th July, simultaneous protest actions will be taken 3pm in Sapporo, Tokyo, Osaka, etc. against police capitalism. Call for international solidarity! Take actions simultaneously! Protest against unjust arrests, police violence and capitalist summit.

Appello internazionale per azioni di solidarietà e contro la repressione dei G8 (italian translation)

Appello internazionale per azioni di solidarietà e contro la repressione dei G8

Libertà per gli arrestati! Protestiamo contro lo stato di polizia e il summit dei capitalisti!

Organizziamo azioni simultanee per sabato 12 luglio.

Guarda questo video: rootless.org/noG8/Declare_Independence.m4v

Tre nostri amici sono stati ingiustamente arrestati il 5 luglio durante una manifestazione contro il summit dei G8. Uno degli arrestati è fra l'altro un attivista di indymedia ed è membro del G8 Media Network, un gruppo di mediattivisti no-profit e non governativi. Le uniche azioni violente sono state praticate dalla polizia. Per esempio ha bloccato il furgone del sound system con la forza, rompendo un vetro con un manganello ecc., e ne ha trascinato fuori il conducente. Questo avvenimento è solo un nuovo atto caratterizzante la brutalità della polizia giapponese, come riportato dai media indipendenti.

Mentre la gran parte dei media giapponesi si concentravano sul summit, a Osaka un attivista che si occupa dei senzatetto è stato arrestato il 4 luglio. Il motivo era quello di possedere un telefonino non registrato a suo nome. Il gruppo di cui è attivista aveva in programma di unirsi, durante le contestazioni, al workgroup sulla povertà e il lavoro della rete Couter G8 Action Network, ma non ha potuto visto che ha preferito stare vicino al compagno, e visto che un altro attivista del gruppo era già stato arrestato lo scorso mese per simili piccolezze burocratiche. Queste motivazioni sono cose di poco conto, ma hanno come ovvio effetto la soppressione del dissenso.

Denunciamo l'oppressione perpetrata dalla polizia avvenuta durante il corteo e tramite la messa a tacere dell'attivista per i senzatetto, e domandiamo l'immediato rilascio per tutti. Il 12 luglio azioni di protesta simultanee verranno organizzate a Sapporo, Tokyo, Osaka, ecc. contro lo stato di polizia capitalista. Questo è un appello alla solidarietà internazionale! Organizzate azioni! Protestate contro gli ingiusti arresti, contro la violenza della polizia e contro il summit dei capitalisti.

July5th Relief Association for Sapporo Sound Demonstration in solidarietà con Indymedia japan.

NATIONAL LAWYERS GUILD TEAMS WITH JAPANESE LEGAL NETWORK TO MONITOR POLICE MISCONDUCT IN COUNTER G8 PROTESTS IN JAPAN

NATIONAL LAWYERS GUILD TEAMS WITH JAPANESE LEGAL NETWORK TO MONITOR POLICE MISCONDUCT IN COUNTER G8 PROTESTS IN JAPAN
Wednesday, July 9, 2008, 08:00 AM
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, July 8, 2008

Contact: Marjorie Cohn, NLG President, marjorie (at) tjsl.edu; 619-374-6923
Heidi Boghosian, NLG Executive Director, director (at) nlg.org; 212-679-5100, ext. 11

Extraordinary Force Used to Silence Protesters Critical of G8 and United States Policies

The National Lawyers Guild (NLG) is monitoring an escalation of repression by Japanese police against protestors of the Group of 8 Summit (G8 Summit) in the Japanese island of Hokkaido, as well as in Sapporo, Tokyo and other parts of Japan.

The Lawyers Guild, a network of lawyers, legal workers and law students advocating for social change in the US, has teamed up with WATCH, a Japanese legal network created to document police and government misconduct during the anti G8 protests. Both organizations are deeply disturbed at the level of police harassment against G8 protestors.

“What we have witnessed in the streets of Sapporo, Tokyo and in Hokkaido Toyako is part of an ongoing and escalating campaign to suppress the movement for social change and real democracy in Japan,” said Marina Sitrin, professor and member of the National Lawyers Guild.

As G8 leaders meet at their Summit in Hokkaido Toyako, the Japanese police and government manifest their anti-democratic policies with regard to demonstrators and people who oppose the group’s policies "The G8, which claims to oppose poverty and global warming, actually promotes aid to poor countries that forces them into debt and policies that create climate change. The National Lawyers Guild supports the global justice movement against these policies, in Japan and worldwide," said NLG President Marjorie Cohn.

The G8 leaders have publicly cited Iran's nuclear energy program as a military threat, fueling fears of the possibility that the US will attack Iran. After the G8's 2003 declaration on non-proliferation, which specifically targeted Iran, last year's G8 communiqué listed Iran as one of three countries (with Libya and North Korea) posing 'proliferation challenges' to world security, despite the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency's conclusion that there is no evidence Iran has a nuclear weapons program.

“We were surprised by the excessive force used by police in the counter G8 demonstrations," said Ko Watari, of WATCH. “This was a non-violent demonstration where no acts against property or people took place, or even appeared likely to take place.” Three people have been arrested, one Reuter’s cameraman was standing on a public sidewalk when arrested by police; and his video camera was confiscated. The arrest of a sound truck driver followed immediately thereafter. Footage of the driver’s arrest shows him screaming in pain as the police attempted to pull him out of the truck, after smashing the truck window. A later inspection of the confiscated truck by the legal team revealed quantities of dried blood on the steering wheel and dashboard.

“Labor and peace movement leaders are concerned that the police will arrest them for organizing these protests, search their homes and interrogate their family members,” said Dan Spalding, Legal Worker Vice President of the National Lawyers Guild. Japanese law permits police to hold and interrogate suspects for 23 days without formal charges. They are often interrogated for 12 hours in a row, and often forced to sit on their knees all day while in detention, not being allowed to move without permission, even to use the bathroom. It is these sorts of conditions and punitive arrests that the National Lawyers Guild opposes. We call on the Japanese government to respect human rights in Japan.

札幌地方検察庁
担当検察官(大野検事)様

「チャレンジ・ザ・G8 1万人のピースウォーク」で逮捕された3名を
すみやかに不起訴処分とするよう求める要請書

 さる7月5日の午後に行われた「チャレンジ・ザ・G8 1万人のピースウォーク」には5000人もの多様な人々が集まり、札幌市街を歩きました。このピースウォークは平和裡に行われましたが、G8サミット警備という名目で全国から動員された警備公安警察・機動隊が行進を取り囲み、マスメディアや通行人に向かって、あたかもピースウォークが危険なものであるかのように描き出そうとしました。
 さらに警察は、ピースウォークに合流していた、トラックの荷台に音響機材を積んで音楽を流して歩くいわゆる「サウンドデモ」の部分に対し、過剰な警備をもって臨み、DJや運転をしていただけの人を見せしめのようにして逮捕していきました。このとき、警察の暴力的介入を記録していたロイターのカメラパーソンも逮捕されています。
 ロイター関係者は勾留請求されないまま釈放されましたが、残る3人のウォーク参加者は「道交法違反」「札幌市公安条例違反」「公務執行妨害」と決めつけられ、8日に勾留を決定されました。そして16日にようやく処分保留のまま釈放されました。

 ピースウォークは、札幌市の公安条例に従い、DJの荷台乗車を含みこむ形式で申請され、公安委員会に許可されたものでした。それにもかかわらず、トラックの荷台でDJを務めていた2人のささいな言動をとらえて同条例違反や道交法違反で、トラックの運転手を務めていた人にいたってはありもしない公務執行妨害をでっち上げて現行犯逮捕し、3人とも12日間にわたって身柄拘束までしなければならないのでしょうか。これは、憲法が保障する言論表現の自由を著しく侵害する行為であり、民主的社会への重大な挑戦です。到底許されることではありません。

 そもそも、検察官は、公益の代表者として、警察による捜査の行き過ぎを是正する役割を課せられているはずです。最近、氷見市や志布志市などで相次いだ冤罪事件について、最高検察庁は自省の態度を明らかにしていますが、こうした点からしても、貴検察官には全国動員された警察の捜査活動を質す役割が期待されています。
 それにもかかわらず、検察官が、フレームアップとも言うべき3人の不当逮捕を支持し、10日間の勾留請求に及んだ上で接見禁止決定まで請求したことは、強く批判されなければなりません。

 貴職が、3名の勾留延長請求をせずに釈放指揮をとられたことは、当然とはいえ評価できるものですが、3名は今なお被疑者という不安定な地位に置かれており、1日も早く不起訴としてかかる地位から解放されるべきです。
 よって、私たちは、貴職に対し、ピースウォーク参加者であるDJ2名と運転手とをすみやかに不起訴処分とするよう、ここに強く要請いたします。
