You can let Prime Minster Yoshiro Mori of Japan know that you want the four activists released immediately. Not only because they
rightly campaigned for a better environment, but also because
the Japanese police is not upholding internationally agreed upon
human rights in the way the activists will be held under arrest for
more than 10 days. Please copy and paste the letter below and send
from the website below.
You can also tell him in your own words what you think of this
unwarranted action by the Japanese police on his personal website:

Thank you for your help. (回上端)
伸援信件參考內容：
To: Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori
Dear Prime Minister Mori,
Undoubtedly you have already been informed about the arrest of 4
Greenpeace activists on May 9. It is because of their arrest that I
am calling on you to use all means at your disposal to ensure that
these non-violent activists are released from custody immediately. In addition to this I call your attention to the 11th of May when, in an
unjustifiable action by the police, the Greenpeace flagship "The
Rainbow Warrior" and the Greenpeace office in Tokyo were raided.
Greenpeace campaigns on behalf of its supporters and the values of
the public all over the world for a cleaner environment. The four
Greenpeace activists from China, Belgium, The Netherlands and UK
were arrested after climbing the tower of an incinerator complex in
Toshima Ward in Tokyo, where they later unfurled a banner proclaiming Tokyo as the world's Dioxin Capital. As you undoubtedly will know as
well Japan has the highest levels of dioxin emissions in the world today, primarily a consequence of having the highest number of waste
incinerators than any other country on the planet.
You are aware of the substantial environmental problems Japan is
already facing from these dioxin emissions especially the ongoing
pollution of the environment with toxic chemicals like PCB's and
other Persistent Organic Pollutants. I find it very strange to accept
that these activists; the people who give all they have to fight
pollution of the Japanese environment are now being detained in
a Tokyo prison cell.
I am also very concerned as the activists will be held in custody
nder the so called "substitute prison system" (daiyo kanguko). As you will know, under this system a suspect can be held for 48 hours with
a 10 day extension, sometimes even followed by a further 10 day extension. International human rights organisations like Amnesty
International have repeatedly argued that this system is a clear violation of the universal right of each individual to be considered
innocent unless proven guilty.
I personally believe that the Greenpeace activists did not commit a
crime but acted in the best interest possible for both me, and people
in Japan, by fighting global environmental pollution from a dirty
technology like incineration. I am also shocked to find that in a
modern country as Japan the universality of human rights is not
respected by still holding prisoners under the "daiyo kanguko"
system.
Recalling the universality of human rights, and in light of the
global and just cause the arrested activists campaign for, I call
upon you to use all possible channels of communication at your disposal to ensure the immediate release of these activists.
Yours Sincerely,
(Your name and title) 請填上您的名字！ (回上端)
