We've been out and about this morning at the Japanese embassy in London to show our support for the Tokyo Two. Junichi Sato and Toru Suzuki are two brave whaling campaigners who are facing prison terms for exposing a major embezzlement scandal at the heart of the Japanese whaling industry.
For the past few weeks we've been collecting your messages of support and putting them on to 'wish ribbons' stamped with symbols of truth and justice. These are a traditional Japanese way of expressing hope and are usually found outside temples - people write their wish on a ribbon and tie it onto a 'wishing tree' in the temple grounds to make their hopes and dreams come true.

So this morning we took two trees, already bedecked with hundreds of messages of support (thanks to all of you who sent one in), and set them set up temporarily in Piccadilly Circus and Green Park, where they attracted a lot of new signatories, before delivering them to the Japanese Embassy early this afternoon.
And just across the road (and clearly visible) from the embassy building we set up large, manga-style hoardings telling the story of the Tokyo Two in the form of a cartoon strip. Initially monochrome, they grew steadily more colourful as the morning progressed and our volunteers got to work with tins of red paint.
Sadly the Japanese Ambassador, His Excellency Mr Shin Ebihara, was not formally available to receive the trees - but he and his government will certainly be getting the message, because this was just the latest in a series of events held at Japanese embassies around the world to draw attention to Junichi and Toru's plight.
Over the past few months their case has become something of an international cause célèbre, and Amnesty International and other human rights organisations have voiced serious concerns over they way they've been treated.
