🇯🇵 While many cases are dropped before they reach a courtroom, the problem of suspected forced confessions of people whose lawyers are not present during interrogation, suggests a litany of injustices could be happening 🔎 Big Read by michael2day
The dark side of Japan: Forced confessions, the death penalty and plans to indefinitely jail refugeesThe case of a boxer who has won a retrial after 53 years on death row highlights concerns over the country’s human rights record
. Earlier this month the high court in Tokyo ordered a retrial for the 87-year-old, who has languished behind bars for more than five decades after a conviction his lawyers say was based on a forced confession and fabricated evidence.Scratch lightly at the veneer of exquisite aesthetics, etiquette, and sleek modernism and you become aware of something more sinister – hinted at by the excessive deference and rigid hierarchies.
Hakamada was convicted of murder in 1966 of a company manager and three family members. He was sentenced to death two years later. He initially denied the accusations then confessed, forced out of him, he says, by a violent police interrogation. Amnesty International says Hakamada is the world’s longest-serving death row prisoner. Currently, 106 remain on death row. Concerns have long been raised about the cruel way inmates are notified that they are to be killed. Notice often comes just hours before execution, despite the usual, decades-long wait for the penalty to be administered. As such inmates have little chance to meet lawyers or relatives before the sentence is carried out.
