Standing behind our activists: what can you do?

Two Greenpeace activists are now on trial in Japan having acted in the public interest by exposing corruption inside the government funded whaling industry. Junichi and Toru have continued to make their voices heard despite facing intimidation by the Japanese authorities and up to 10 years in prison. They need your help now more than ever. Tell the Japanese government that you stand beside them as co-defendants.

Take action now.

Read Greenpeace International ED Kumi Naidoo’s letter to Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama.

Follow the trial.
