governments, assemblies,
women's organization, and political parties have protested and done large
demonstrations against my case, so when the trial starts, the Okinawan
people will surround the court, attend the hearings, and place pressure on
the jurors. After my arrest, I heard many people shouting outside the Uruma
Police Office shouting my name using a loudspeaker. I did not know what
they were saying, but can hear them yelling out my name. The jailor told me
that these people are yelling for me to stop keeping my silence and tell the
truth to the police.
I believe that the jurors not only have concluded me as guilty through the
polices'one-sided story, but also will not believe what I say despite it being
the truth. They believe that the case is cold-blooded and heinous and will
decide to give me the death sentence. I cannot rely on the Naha District
Court to give me a fair trial. Please let me be tried through a different court
outside of Okinawa.
