Based on interviews with defendants, lawyers and eyewitnesses, and other Japanese language sources, the book carries rich descriptions of the individuals at the heart of the story, including the charismatic leader of the "Tachikawa Tent Village" who has been protesting since U.S. military forces were stationed in her hometown in the early post-war era. Authored by an attorney who has researched and written on Japanese legal issues for more than three decades and was the plaintiff in a suit that made constitutional history by opening Japan's courts to free reporting, this book offers expert insights into Japan's evolution as a democratic society. Illustrating the sharp political conflict that has deeply affected Japan's defence policy for decades, this book will be of huge interest to scholars and students of Comparative Law, Peace Studies, Japanese Society and Modern Asian History"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Prisoners $z Japan. 650 0 $a Iraq War, 2003-2011 $x Moral and ethical aspects $z Japan. 650 0 $a Protest movements $z Japan. 650 7 $a Ethics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00915833 650 7 $a Prisoners. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077103 650 7 $a Protest movements. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01079826 651 7 $a Iraq. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205757 651 7 $a Japan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204082 648 7 $a 2003-2011 $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Repeta, Lawrence. $t Japan's prisoners of conscience $d New york : Routledge, 2023 $z 9781003193999 $w (DLC) 2022025221 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619010823.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4C5C90382E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
