Tokyo Two Pre-verdict Press Conference

Footage from the Tokyo Two pre-verdict press conference in Tokyo, and Greenpeace Japan activists Toru Suzuki and Junichi Sato departing Aomori Court after receiving a 1 year sentence suspended for 3 years, in their trial for trespass and theft of a box of whale meat.
Junichi Sato and Toru Suzuki, known as the Tokyo Two, exposed widespread corruption in Japan's whaling programme -- in return, they have been handed a one year suspended prison sentence. However, despite the harsh punishment the two anti-whaling activists stood in court as heroes, having successfully put whaling on trial, both in court, and in Japan's national media.
