Two members of environmentalist group Greenpeace Japan were each sentenced Monday to one year in jail, suspended for three years, for stealing in 2008 a package of whale meat which a Japanese whaling ship crew member was trying to send home. The sentence was handed down by the Aomori District Court in northeastern Japan against Junichi Sato, a 33-year-old antiwhaling campaign coordinator, and Toru Suzuki, 43. (AP)
