Dear Signatories

Please allow us to thank you once more for your support during the trial initiated by the Sasakawa Foundation against our colleague Karoline Postel-Vinay.
Under French law, the Sasakawa Foundation could have appealed within three months, before 23 December 2010. The foundation has chosen not to appeal the verdict that condemns it. Our victory is therefore complete.

The judgment of the Paris High Court clearly and completely dismisses the Sasakawa Foundation’s claims. You can download a certified translation of the judgment in English and Japanese, and an abstract in Chinese:

You will find reviews of the verdict in the media here: http://www.cefc.com.hk/rubrique.php?id=145&aid=485&lg=en

Can we kindly ask you to circulate this information around you, to provide a counterweight to the disinformation campaign that the Sasakawa Foundation conducted immediately after the trial, hence engaging itself in real-time revisionism.
We would like to express you again our deep gratitude and address you our best wishes for the New Year.

Support Committee for Karoline Postel-Vinay
