Japan to Hold Retrial for Decades-Old Death Sentence. Case Highlights Cruelty of ‘Hostage Justice System,’ Capital Punishment

This month, public #prosecutors in #Japan said they would not appeal the #Tokyo High Court’s decision to hold a retrial for Iwao #Hakamada, an 87-year-old former professional #boxer arrested in August 1966 and sentenced to death for the murder of a family of four. This is the 5th time a #deathpenalty case will be retried in Japan. In earlier cases, the defendants were all acquitted.

Hakamada’s case is just one of countless examples of Japan’s so-called “hostage justice system,” in which suspects are frequently detained prior to #judgement for long and arbitrary periods – sometimes up to several months or years – to obtain their confessions. According to his legal team, in 1966 #police interrogated Hakamada for an average of 12 hours a day, with some interrogations running as long as 17 hours. He was questioned without his #lawyer, as permitted under Japanese law, and denied water and restroom breaks. In a letter recalling his experience, Hakamada said authorities threatened him, saying, “if we report your cause of death as an illness, that’s the end of it,” before beating him with a police baton.

It’s now rare for Japanese police to physically abuse suspects during interrogation. But authorities still coerce confessions during the pre-indictment detention period. Suspects can’t apply for bail before being indicted, and courts routinely deny bail during trial for those who do not confess. Most detainees are held in #cells located inside police stations and placed under constant #surveillance, including during mealtimes and in bathrooms. Courts often issue restrictions on communications, denying the accused permission to meet, call, or write letters to anyone other than their lawyers. More than 99 percent of Japanese trials result in #convictions.

For decades, Hakamada has claimed his #innocence. If he is found not #guilty, his case will be another stark reminder not just of the flawed justice process in Japan, but that the death penalty should be abolished because it is a cruel, irreversible and irreparable form of #punishment. Activists have long raised concerns that #deathrow inmates are notified of their #execution only the day it occurs. For years, Hakamada lived in fear of being executed on any given day.

Japan should urgently reform its justice system by eliminating the “hostage justice system” and abolishing the death penalty.

Four More Oath Keepers Members Convicted of Sedition in Second Trial
The four members of the far-right militia were found guilty of seditious conspiracy nearly two months after the group’s leader, Stewart Rhodes, was convicted of the same charge in a separate proceeding. #oathkeepers #Jan6 #convictions

Oath Keepers found unjust,
But their maligned ways must be bust.
Their sparks of sedition,
Put their lives in evition,
Coercing a guilt to which they must adjust.

It is awful what is on the news about a serving police officer abusing numerous women. Very disturbing. For women, who we can trust is diminishing. #Police #Abuse #Convictions #Law

How many people think you could talk someone out of their Ideas on #TruthSocial ? That's a hate-based space. That's #Twitter today.
If you weren't there, hateful trolls would be attacking each other.

NO matter what the purpose, you are groveling to the Chief Turd's own values.

On a video published by RIA Novosti's telegram channel #Prigozhin seen talking to the first group of #prisoners from the #Wagner #mercenary group returning from #Ukraine - their #convictions are now said to be #expunged. Prigozhin called them “full-fledged members of society” who 'volunteered to defend their homeland'. His parting words: "Don't drink too much, don't use drugs, don't #rape women, don't be a troublemaker."
