Bar Association refused to reply! 矢部善朗弁護士と海渡雄一弁護士について公開質問状：日本弁護士連合会および京都弁護士会御中

Lawyer Yoshiro Yabe’s tweets persistently slandering others including me after ETHOS leader’s criminal accusation. He is a supporter of ETHOS leader Ms. Ryoko Ando and implies further accusation against me including imposing me to pay considerable amount of compensation fees.

“The Lawyer Yuichi Kaido, the former Secretary General of Japan Federation of Bar Associations, who made Monju Nishimura Case as a civil case though Nishimura’s medical record shows that he was killed instead of committing suicide as the police report said.”

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
On March 26, I got a swift reply from Japan Federation of Bar Association, only one day after I gave them my open questions.

As I suspected, JFBA didn’t answer my question in their e-mail which is strangely unreliable situation. The e-mail is below.

Dear Ms. Takenouchi

I read your e-mail.

JFBA cannot express our views on individual issues or individual lawyers’ activities. We would appreciate your understanding.

Japan Federation of Bar Associations

Takenouchi’s mail to JFBA

Please excuse me for writing this so suddenly.

My name is Mari Takenouchi, I am a freelance journalist/translator who has a 4 year old boy, I am a single mother who investigates anti-nuke/anti-radiation exposure issues.

At the end of January 2014, I was notified by Fukushima Prefectural police that I was being accused for “criminal contempt” by the leader of the Fukushima ETHOS group, Ms. Ryoko Ando. In February, 3 policemen flew to Okinawa from Fukushima, and made some investigations at my house and questioned me at the police station.

Concerning this news, Reporters Without Boarders covered the article as an international news item on March 11, 2014, some three years after the Fukushima nuclear accident.

Also, I have been harassed and intimidated on the internet by many people before and after the criminal accusation.

I have the following 3 questions for both the Japan Federation of Bar Associations and Kyoto Lawyers’ Society. I would be very appreciative if you could reply back to me at mariscontact@gmail.com by Friday, April 4th, 2014.

Best regards,

Mari Takenouchi,　freelance journalist, translator
1: Persistant harrassement by Lawyer Yoshiro Yabe

I have been harassed by lawyer Yoshiro Yabe @motoken_tw in various ways in a quite persist way on the internet. When I collected the petition not to indict me and presented it to the Fukushima Local Prosecutors’ Office, Mr. Yabe insisted the petition was not valid and disseminated his statement a number of times. Recently, when I put my mother’s letter on my blog http://savekidsjapan.blogspot.jp/2014/03/further-legal-case-against-takenouchi.html, he said,

Takenouchi’s mother who said, “Can you take responsibility if something happened to my only daugthter and my only grandson? could be regarded as a threat”

As a matter of fact, Mr. Yabe’s remark seems to a threat against my mother.

When I said so on my twitter, surprisingly, Mr. Yabe said, “That is a defamation against me. Why don’t we accuse each other one time?” He is disseminating such a threatening tweet against me!!

私に対する名誉毀損だな。一度お互いに告訴し合ってみようか？結果は予想できるけどw RT @mariscontact: 娘と孫を守ろうとする私の80歳の母まで脅迫するモトケンこと京都弁護士会の矢部善朗氏。 http://savekidsjapan.blogspot.com/2014/03/further-legal-case-against-takenouchi.html?spref=tw … English and Japanese

Furthermore, though I have repeatedly asked him not to obstruct me since his deeds have been inflicting tremendous hurt for me, he never stopped and continued his harassment.

On the other hand, Mr. Yabe is an obvious supporter of Ms. Ryoko Ando, who raised the controversy by saying, “Why don’t we drop the argument saying, “Life is important”? Mr. Yabe protected her controversial statement in the following.

As Japan Federation of Bar Associations, and Kyoto Lawyers’ Society, what do you think of the attitudes of Lawyer Yoshiro Yabe?

As a single mother who is under criminal accusation, his remarks themselves sound like threats to me. He has been imposing tremendous mental hurt if he was to actually file a lawsuit against me, my life and my 4 year old boy’s life could be devastated.

I would be very appreciative if Japan Federation of Bar Associations and Kyoto Lawyers’ Society could give Mr. Yoshiro Yabe some recommendation.

Please let me know if that is possible or not.

PS. After I put up this blog page, Mr. Yoshiro Yabe tweeted the following, implying that he will make tremendous amount of compensation money from me.

@motoken_tw

Takenouchi’s tweets @mariscontact is considerably harming my trust. I think it would be a considerable amount of compensation money from her. Of course all the responsibility is attributable to her. I will tell her in advance. I might do this case (against Takenouchi) along with another case, all together (laugh)

2. Criminal accusation by ETHOS leader against Mari Takenouchi

Many people argue that the criminal accusation by ETHOS leader against Takenouchi should be a precursor of implementation of Specified Secrecy Act, which would embody the oppression of freedom of Speech. I know Japan Bar Association has been vigorously raising its voice against this Act, and I would be very appreciative if you could provide some comment on this case.

By the way, my twitter remark is not limited to legal issue but also contain humanitarian issue of Fukushima children, whom I wish should be evacuated for protecting thier lives and health.

I believe the wording “human experiment” should be an appropriate one considering what had happened in Chernobyl, and in order to conduct preventive measures, I believe more people/organization should raise their voice to achieve evacuation of children from contaminated areas.

Now may I ask Japan Federation of Bar Association what you think about this most urgent issue? Now there are as many as 75 thyroid cancer kids in Fukushima and some even with lymph nodes metastasis. As Japan Bar Association, do you have any intetion to act on this issue in the near future?

（Example; Recommendation of conducting gene7q11 test to identify the cause of thyroid cancer and evacuating children from contaminated areas, etc.

3. Why didn’t Monju Nishimura Case become a criminal lawsuit?

In 1996, Monju Nishimura Case occured where Mr. Nishimura is known to have been killed based on his medical record and X-ray photos. However, Mr. Yuichi Kaido, the former Secretary General of Japan Bar Association, who undertook this case didn’t make this case as a “criminal case” instead made it as a “civil case” focusing on small events such as the hidden video tape of the accident and exclusing the crucial point of “homicide”.

I believe this is quite a serious issue for the sake of Mr. Shigeo Nishimura himself and his bereaved family, and also for finding the truth about a crime conducted by so called Japan’s nuclear village.

Please let me know JFBA’s official view on this grave issue.

As a matter of fact, I heard that in January 2014, when Mr. Yuichi Kaido was asked “Why didn’t you make this case as a criminal lawsuite?”from one of the audience, his smile vanished and looked downward not answering, and then the time was up.）

The following is the information I collected from Ms. Toshiko Nishimura, the wife of Shigeo Nishimura.
