URGENT: Greenpeace whale activists arrested in Japan

Two Greenpeace activists who exposed a whale meat embezzlement fraud in Japan — Junichi Sato and Toru Suzuki — have been themselves arrested — for allegedly stealing the whale meat that they turned over to police as evidence.
Demand the Japanese government free the activists
This is the backlash. We’ve uncovered a scandal involving powerful forces in the Japanese government that benefit from whaling, and it’s not surprising they are striking back.
What is surprising is that these activists, who are innocent of any crime, would be arrested for returning whale meat that was stolen from Japanese taxpayers. Theirs are, to date, the only arrests that have been made in the Tokyo public prosecutor’s investigation into the embezzlement we documented of millions of yen worth of whale meat.
This was not a police action — it was an intimidation tactic by the government agencies responsible for whaling — and the kind of harassment of whistleblowers that a modern democracy should not allow. Our first news that an arrest was imminent came from Japanese television stations. Someone leaked the information to ensure images of Greenpeace activists in handcuffs appeared on news reports in Japan.
More than 40 police officer raided our offices and the homes of the activists, and spent 10 hours seizing cell phones, documents, and computers, despite the fact that we had documented every step of how we obtained the whale meat, turned the full dossier over with the evidence, and made ourselves available to police to help with the investigation at any time. A simple phone call could have brought Junichi and Toru to the police station. Instead, the government made a public spectacle of shutting Greenpeace down.
Don’t let Japan shut down the truth. Demand the release of Junichi and Toru and demand an end to the whaling programme in Japan. The corruption of a few bureaucrats who profit from whaling should not be an excuse for harassing those who have exposed it. The domestic and international shame which this scandal is bringing on the Japanese agencies responsible for whaling is just one more reason that Japan should stop its sham scientific whaling programme in the Southern Ocean forever.
Please, take action now and pass this message along to your friends. Let’s get Junichi and Toru back with their families, and demand the real criminals go to jail.

Yes.
After taking the seat out again (and the charging unit, and reversing the batteries, I got it started and the vehicle battery is showing 12.7v on the meter and starts again. I’ll keep an eye on that this afternoon, and go out and get a 240v charger for the leisure ones that I can sun directly from the 240v from the generator. Hopefully this will boost them all.
The beautiful girlfriend will be happy as we are off on holiday for a bit. When I get paid anyway!
Why can’t vehicle electrics be simple!

After taking the passenger seat out, disconnecting the charging unit for the 3 batteries and all the appliances in my motor home, finding the blown fuse and blowing a couple more and putting it all back together again, and recharging, MY VAN BATTERY IS FUCKING DEAD AGAIN!!!
Molto grande bastardo!!!
Now to get it started, disconnect the van and the leisure battery systems and charge the leisure ones independently; hopefully getting a decent amount of charge into all of them so it can hold it for a decent amount of time.
Surely you can’t import illegally logged timber and sell it in Europe, right? Wrong.

There’s an important EU vote on July 23rd, which should close this illegal logging loophole. The European Commission has ignored the need for a new law for almost five years. Even now European Commission President José Manuel Barroso is being lobbied by companies who profit from illegal timber to reject legislation.
We need European Commissioners to vote “YES” to stop illegal logging on July 23rd.
