'저는 그들의 땅을 지키기 위하여 싸웠던 인디안들의 이야기를 기억합니다. 백인들이 그들의 신성한 숲에 도로를 만들기 위하여 나무들을 잘랐습니다. 매일밤 인디안들이 나가서 백인들이 만든 그 길을 해체하면 그 다음 날 백인들이 와서 도로를 다시 짓곤 했습니다. 한동안 그 것이 반복되었습니다. 그러던 어느날, 숲에서 가장 큰 나무가 백인들이 일할 동안 그들 머리 위로 떨어져 말과 마차들을 파괴하고 그들 중 몇몇을 죽였습니다. 그러자 백인들은 떠났고 결코 다시 오지 않았습니다….' (브루스 개그논)

Video Fwd: TV "Hiro UGAYA in search for anti SLAPP laws

* Video thankfully informed by M.S., Japan on Jan. 10, 2011

TV "Hiro UGAYA in search for anti SLAPP laws" PART3 of 3 (English subtitle)
(Video URL)

'A Japanse journalist Hiro UGAYA survived the tough days of being a victim of SLAPP suit ( Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation ) for 33 month. When he discovered that in Japan there is no legal measure to deter SLAPP or even the concept or not a single document. he decided to take a research trip to the US using his own dime. / Documentary program by a Japanese national TV station TBS. Created by Hiroyuki AKIYAMA.'



'SLAPP ( Strategic lawsuit against public participation) ...As for another case of SLAPP in Japan, a few months ago, two fishermen against the planned Kaminoseki nuclear power plant has been sentenced by the Supreme Court to pay fine of 5 million yen a day for their obtruction of the construction. This sentence is final, so they have to pay.

I don't know the total amount. Maybe more than several tens of millions yen for each.
They have not received the compensation money offered as an exchange for
giving up their fishery right. So they may have to use that money as the ruled fine. (M.S. on Jan. 10, 2011)
