The sentence for K.Omori The sentence of the Hokkaido Pref office bombing case" has passed for Omori, 1:30pm, 15, July 1994 at the Supreme Court/Tokyo. Since the publishment of the judgement has notified within a month just after the last oral proceedings has held in 6,June, the defense counsel and Omori defense group have expected that the bench won't examine hearing ignoring the entire tenor of the oral proceedings. In consequence, the judgement for Omori was "dismissal of an appeal" which we firmly censure. It was revealed by the judgement that this trial was a "political trial" for judging one's thoughts. Despite K.Omori, in fact, was not involved with the Pref office bombimg, he was convicted of "one of the criminals" because he had thoughts of "Han-nichi Bokoku"(anti-Japan/ruining the Japanese state). Prosecutors and the court authorities have fabricated numbers of circumstantial evidences and invented eye-witness. Those "co-work" were piled up and finally an innocent Omori is now in death row. This trial could be one of the evil court precedents in the history of justice that court has convicted a person who has never made any confession and without any evidences. Especially, when this sort of injustice is going to be drove forward in "public security cases", the time will come that police and prosecution authorities have more possibilities for making activists into "criminals" without any certain evidence in the future. We confirm ourselves that this sentence forms a part of the state policy of public supression. 15. July, the day of the judgement, many people who's been involved in defending Omori in the long trial, came to gather to the Supreme Court. While they were on the queue for having admission tickets, they unfolded banners apperaling Omori's innocence around the south gate of the Supreme Court. 10 meters(33 feet) of long banner sorrounded along the fence of the Supreme Court. Red and black banner with the face of Omori fluttered. Anarchists brought a black banner reads "Smash the supression!" "Death to the low!". A sax-player, Masa, played a song from the movie "Sacco and Vansetti". A picture story show was played on the street in front of the Sureme Court to appael Omori's innocnece. Neverthless cops were moblized to disperse, people send cops back out from the street. 1 o'clock pm, people got tickets by lots, as only 47 admission tickets were prepared. Some who lost number had to stay outside. Before opening a court, the audience has to stand up in general. However, nobody has stood up at this court. Even press reporters didn't in this atomosphere. Yes, we have no need to pay any respect to the bench. Omori was not allowed to attend to the court. The first thing the chief justice Katsuya Onishi said "an appeal was dismissed". He immediately has gone away behind the door with 3 other judges. People in the gallary shouted and kicked chairs off. A folding fan has thrown to the judges. All the hearers refused the order to leave the court. The bench has gone already so that to give an order to confine. Many bailiffs were mobilized and few hearer were expelled from the court. Even unit of riot cops were ready to operate inside the building. Anarchists shouted in chorus "Free Omori!" "We shall win!" and marched from the court to outside. The shouts resounded inside the building. After the injust judgement, the Omori Defense Group and activists have gathered at the hall and made speeches in succession impeaching the judge authorities. >From 6 o'clock pm, a meeting to report the judgement more in detail and 40 ppeople took part in. People discussed how further reopening of the proceedings should be made. According to the Japanese juridical system, "the right of inerview and correspondence" will be largely reduced for the inmate after having death penalty. For Omori, his rights will soon to be reduced in the middle of August. We call on you to send your messages to Omori.
