Sayama Case Petition – help us collect one million signatures!

One thousand people from all over the country gathered at the Japan Education Center in Tokyo on October 31, 2006 for a rally hosted by the Citizen’s Support Group for the Sayama Case. A powerful keynote address was delivered by Toru Matsuoka, Secretary-General of the Buraku Liberation League, urging participants to help reach the goal of collecting one million signatures by March 1, 2007 for a petition demanding the retrial and reinvestigation of the Sayama Case.

Kazuo and Sachiko Ishikawa stood in front of the crowd and vowed to place all their might into winning the third appeal and demanding justice. This is their last chance to appeal for a retrial.
