Ex-defendant calls for retrial of case over 1957 entry into U.S. base

Gentaro Tsuchiya, one of the seven people found guilty over their 1957 entry into a U.S. military base in Tokyo, speaks at a news conference in Tokyo on July 15, 2015, after giving his statement of opinion at a Tokyo District Court hearing on their petition for reopening the "Sunagawa Case." The case led to the 1959 Supreme Court ruling that Article 9 of the Constitution does not deny Japan's right to self-defense, a decision cited by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's administration as a basis for permitting Japan to exercise the right to collective self-defense.
