捕鯨妨害事件、被告に執行猶予付き有罪判決
環境保護団体「シーシェパード」のメンバーによる日本の調査捕鯨妨害事件で、ニュージーランド国籍の同団体メンバー、ピーター・ベスーン被告の判決公判が7月7日東京地裁で開かれ、執行猶予5年の有罪判決が言い渡された。
Bethune gets suspended sentence
An antiwhaling activist from New Zealand was convicted and given a suspended prison term July 7 for interfering with a Japanese whaling ship and illegally boarding it in the Antarctic Ocean in February.
The Tokyo District Court gave a two-year prison term, suspended for five years, to former Sea Shepherd member Peter Bethune, 45, for launching a bottle containing butyric acid onto the Shonan Maru No. 2 that injured one of its crew members Feb. 11, and for illegally boarding the vessel Feb. 15.
Bethune was not planning to appeal, according to his counsel. After the ruling, Bethune was taken into custody by immigration authorities. As he had technically illegally entered Japan by boarding the vessel, he is expected to be deported within days, said one of the attorneys, who declined to be named. Prosecutors had demanded a two-year prison term, while the defense team sought a suspended sentence. (The Japan Times)
