JAPAN MAKINO Tadashi (m), born 1950

Makino Tadashi, who lost his final appeal on 29 May, was in danger of execution in June, when a new round of executions was expected to take place.

Three men were hanged on 17 June, but Makino Tadashi was not among them. He remains on death row.

No further action is requested from the UA network. Many thanks to all who sent appeals. Amnesty International will continue to monitor Makino Tadashi's case, and take further campaigning action as necessary.
