I currently have three cases before the court.
In one of the cases I'm taking Oki Denki to Court over the violence committed against me at the 2002 stockholders' meeting.
The second case is against the police force for refusing to intervene in the assault at the stockholders' meeting and then falsely claiming that they weren't even there.
The third case, brought against me by Okidenki, is for trespassing on company property in the course of my sit-in protest.
Oki Denki has launched this legal action because it claims that my sit-in is dangerous in that it obstructs their drivers' view of traffic as they exit the factory.
This excuse is patently false.
I conducted my demonstration for 22 years before, in a stunning 'coincidence' they filed the suit on the very day that the court handed down a recommendation that we reach an amicable compromise regarding my assault suit.
Verdicts have now been given in both my suit against the police force and the case brought against me by Oki Denki.
In both cases, the decisions were unfair.
In the case against the police force, the Judge acknowledged that the officers in question did lie about their where about on that day but he decided that lies were made by the officers as individuals not as representative of the force itself.
When I presented the documents detailing the officerers' lies at police headquarters, they ignored me.
When I presented those documents to the Public Safety Committee they acknowledged that there were indeed officers present during the meeting at which I was assaulted.
This shows that although the officers were not found to have been acting as representatives of the force when they lied, the force was prepared to back their falsehood and cover up the truth.
I was surprised when I read the decision that the high court had handed down.
During the trial, I pointed out that the Authorities had ignored the Oki Denki bid-rigging case,
I learned of this rigging scandal by reading a document detailing an investigation, made by the public prosecutors office of Oita prefecture, into the events surrounding the awarding of a construction contract for the emergency wireless announcement system.
The investigation discovered that employees of OkiDebki had bribed the Mayor of Yuhuin in order to receive this lucrative deal.
The document. which cost me 140,000 Yen, ran to 2000 pages.
In that document, employees of Oki Denki, Toshiba, Hitachi Kokusai Denki, Hujitsuu, and other companies confessed that they had engaged in bid rigging.
The witnesses admitted that Companies often colluded to rig the outcome of the tendering process, including that of the emergency wireless announcement system Contract.
Even though solid evidence was unearthed, the police refrained from getting involved,
This shows that the police often turn a blind eye to corporate crime.
The companies employ retired policemen in cushy,high paying jobs and otherwise contribute to the police force in order to maintain their good will.
The company also contributes lot of money to the special task force created to protect companies from "Sokaiya" gangs specializing in disrupting stockholders' meetings and bringing company officers.
Every common day ( a day when most large company hold their annual general meetings) 3000 police officers are sent to stock holders' meeting in the Tokyo area. to ensure that meeting are not interrupted by Sokaiya, despite the fact that Sokaiya have been virtually non-existent since commercial law was altered to outlaw them 15 years ago.
These 3000 police then, are only there to prevent average stockholders from airing their concerns and grievance over company policy.
In my court case I explained that my violent ejection from the share holders' meeting displayed this.
In an alarming statement made by the high court, the Judges wrote that the police have no duty to prosecute criminal cases if there is a pre-existing animosity between the accuser and accused, suggesting that my ongoing dispute with Oki Denki, awards them a certain legal immunity!
In fact that there is a degree of conflict between the accuser and accused should not remove the burden of duty to investigate and prosecute offenders.
Sadly, these issues show that the Japanese legal system stands firmly on the side of Corporate Japan against the citizens it is supposed to serve.
