I write to you regarding "The Empire Strikes Back." It's very worrying that presently nationalistic neoconservatives seem bent on revising Article 9 of the Constitution. Freedom of speech is being degraded and gradually civil liberties and our rights as human beings sidelined. Being detained without charge for a prolonged period is a breach of human rights.
I hope that the Japan Times keeps reporting this without fear and represents the people of Japan that are struggling to find a voice. -- Dan, Japan
