STATEMENT FROM OMORI DEFENSE GROUP
|
|
|
|
Since his arrest of 10th August,1976, innocent Katsuhisa Omori is
|
|
fabricated as a criminal of the bombing case of Hokkaido Pref
|
|
office building, sentenced to death twice and still in jail for
|
|
18 years. But now the truth is clear for all, that this judgement
|
|
was filled with mistakes. We demand the Supreme Court which is
|
|
regarded as the center of the juridical administration, will end
|
|
this situation of unjust through passing the judgement in front of
|
|
the firm truth that Omori is innocent.
|
|
|
|
Police and prosecutor authorities have arrested Omori without any
|
|
certain evidence, enforced to confess and finally fabricated
|
|
tremendous number of "evidence" when they noticed that they could
|
|
not get any deposition.
|
|
Even after the trial has started, prosecutor disturbed our
|
|
defense acts of rebuttal evidence. The court of justice should
|
|
have dismiss the prosecution in the name of an idea of justice
|
|
and fairness.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, the court of justice has made same mistakes twice.
|
|
The court has distorted the "evidence" which even prosecutors
|
|
admits themselves that might have been unadopted.
|
|
Irrational presumptions followed ignoring the principles of the
|
|
justice. As a result, Omori was convicted.
|
|
Also mass-media is responsible for this process of using police
|
|
and prosecutors' one-sided announcement filled with prediction and
|
|
prejudice.
|
|
This case is the unparalleld false charge in the history of laws.
|
|
The Supreme Court which is responsible as the establishments
|
|
of human rights, should recorrect the misjudgement passed at
|
|
the lower court.
|
|
|
|
We firmly demand that the Supreme Court will repeal and reverse
|
|
the judgement of "death penalty" and pass Omori a judgement of
|
|
innocence under the true justice.
