Artist Impression of Tokyo Two Trial

A sketch artist impression shows the courtroom proceedings during the “Tokyo Two” trial in Aomori. Greenpeace activists, Toru Suzuki and colleague Junichi Sato, known as the Tokyo Two, are on trial 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.
