Russia IS illegally occupying Kunashiri, Etorofu, Shikotan and the Habomai islet group.. but the time to get them back was when Yeltsin was in power. Putin is never going to give them up.

Seven years in a Japanese prison is a rather soft sentence....

Not really. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have expressed grave criticism for the Japanese prison system. This fellow is going to be punished and then exiled.

Why do you think successive Japanese governments have refused to sign the 1980 Hague Convention on International Child Abduction, which seeks to ensure that the rights of access of both parents are protected?
