Dear friends,
Members of the Hoshino Defense Committee, Osaka Defense Committee, and Doro-Chiba and their supporters went to the US Embassy in Tokyo. On the way there, police officers in civilian clothes lined up at a checkpoint and refused to let us through. As we protested stubbornly, a plainclothes man connected us to his phone at the US embassy. The embassy official said, “We want you to mail it and refused to even mail our letter to the embassy mailbox.
We got closer to the embassy and held a rally for the release of Mummy.

The letter was sent by mail with delivery notification.

in solidarity,
Tadashi Seto,

Doro-Chiba International Solidarity Committee
