Responding to news that Tokyo’s High Court has overruled a lower court, and denied a retrial to Hakamada Iwao, 82, who spent more than four decades on death row, Hiroka Shoji, East Asia Researcher at Amnesty International commented:
“Today’s ruling is a gross injustice and flies in the face of the facts. Hakamada’s conviction is based on a forced ‘confession’ and there remain serious unanswered questions over DNA evidence.
