<What is gang stalking> Understanding ‘Organised Surveillance, Intimidation and Acts of Violence’ in Japan Q. What do you mean when you say that Mr Hironari Noda was familiar with the modus operandi of the crime because he had previously been on the perpetrators’ side? A. This is the information as recorded in the court records. He discovered a night-vision camera installed by an investigator from the Public Security Intelligence Agency and made a recording of it. Furthermore, Mr Noda recorded the people tailing him and their vehicles, thereby objectively proving that a specific group was continuously subjecting him to harassment. This was only possible because Mr Noda possessed knowledge of the perpetrators’ deployment of personnel and the equipment they used.
