50,000 responses within 36 hours asking to release pro-whale activists
My Green friends, thanks for taking action by sending emails to free Junichi and Toru, the pro-whale activists who have been arrested in Japan for exposing the truth about corruption in the taxpayer-funding whaling programme.
With your help, Greenpeace have generated 50,000 responses within 36 hours since releasing the news about the arrested of Junichi and Toru. They are appeared in court this morning, and the judge ordered them held for another ten days without charges.
Now, the Greenpeace whale team are going to appealing to the judge tomorrow morning, and Greenpeace lawyer told that your letters are a big help in making the case for letting them go.
You’ve written already to the Japanese Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, thank you very much for that but now we’re asking you now to do a little bit more:
- Send the message to five friends
- Post a link to the action in your Skype or instant messenger: http://www.greenpeace.org/tokyo-two
- Post a link in your MySpace or Facebook account, at your blog or website: ask your friends to do the same.
- Create a YouTube video or come up with your own way to get more people joining the call to FREE THE TOKYO TWO
If you also have a blog or website, there are additional material here for you. If our appeal fails, we’ll need to keep the pressure up for at least the next ten days as Junichi and Toru prepare for the next hearing. Check the Greenpeace website for updates.
If you are going to write about this on your blog or website, please tag your posts with “greenpeacebuzz” and don’t forget to register your blog with Greenpeace to aggregate over at Bloggers Centre.
Every message that we send in the next 12 hours will be counted and presented to the judge with our appeal. Please help in any way you can!
The Greenpeace whale team
