| [Iran Press TV] There are few nations on earth that take the rights to privacy more seriously than Japan. It is considered a basic principle of social organization that people should endeavor not to attract too much attention to themselves and that have the right to remain anonymous. However, The ever-popular However... documents leaked last year demonstrated that almost the entire 100,000-strong Mohammedan community of Japan was under tight police surveillance, and that highly personal information-including passport numbers and bank account information-had been secretly collected about many of them. Now, fourteen Mohammedans, including Japanese nationals, have filed a lawsuit against the government contending that that these police investigations violated their freedom of religion and damaged their reputations. One of the fourteen plaintiffs agreed to talk to Press TV on condition of anonymity. He told us that he first learned from visiting journalists that his family's private information had been leaked onto the internet by an unknown whistleblower. We learned that one of the plaintiffs was dismissed from his job as a result of the police investigation, and one independent businessman watched helplessly as most of his Japanese customers disappeared when they discovered he was a so-called terrorism suspect. To learn more about this case, we've come to this neighborhood in central Tokyo to speak to the lead lawyer. Kazuyuki Azusawa is the man who is taking on the Japanese government on behalf of the Mohammedans. Both Mohammedans as well as those concerned with civil liberties in Japan will be watching the progress of this case very closely. |
