High Court fines trio for distributing fliers on Defense Agency property

Three people accused of trespassing on Defense Agency property after distributing fliers opposing the dispatch of Self-Defense Forces personnel to Iraq were handed fines in the Tokyo High Court on Friday, after the court overturned an earlier decision.
The three, Toshiyuki Ohora, 48, Sachimi Takada, 32, and Nobuhiro Onishi, 32, were found guilty of trespassing and handed fines of between 100,000 yen and 200,000 yen.
In an earlier ruling, a lower court had acknowledged that the three had trespassed when they distributed the fliers at Defense Agency facilities in Tokyo between January and February last year. However, it had ruled that their actions were not sufficient grounds to penalize them, saying that they were merely expressing their political opinions as guaranteed by the Constitution and were not significantly violating the privacy of residents.
Prosecutors launched an appeal against the lower court decision, saying it was clear that the three were guilty and that the court had misapplied the law.
Supporters of the three were shocked at the ruling.
"Why are they guilty?" "What about fliers for underground loans and adult products?" supporters asked.
According to the initial district court ruling, the three distributed fliers containing such slogans as, "No dispatch of Self-Defense Forces to Iraq!" in door mailboxes and other locations at Defense Agency facilities in Tachikawa, Tokyo. (Mainichi)
