Greenpeace activists Toru Suzuki (right) and Junichi Sato (centre), in the company of their defence counsel Hizumi Kazuo (left), put the final touches to their closing speeches in preparation for the 'summing up' day in court in Aomor. Toru Suzuki and colleague Junichi Sato, known as the "Tokyo Two", began trial in Aomori in February 2010 following their exposure of an embezzlement scandal inside the taxpayer-funded whaling industry. The trial has become a landmark for Japan's legal system, after a recent opinion by the United Nations Human Rights Council's Working Group on Arbitrary Detention found that authorities have breached both the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political rights, in the treatment of Sato and Suzuki.
