JAPAN: Justice Done
Japanese justice usually takes into account the "patriotism" of political assassins. In Tokyo's Criminal Court last week nine Japanese were convicted of trying in 1939 to dynamite some "conservative statesmen" suspected of pro-British sentiments. Six got suspended sentences. The severest sentence handed down was 30 months in jail. The court did not embarrass the criminals by naming their intended victims.
