Wrongful Arrest, Death in Japan: Will Justice EVER Be Served? | JQJO

Japanese authorities apologized to the family of Shizuo Aishima, a businessman who died after months of wrongful pretrial detention. Aishima and two colleagues were falsely accused of illegal exports and held despite Aishima's cancer diagnosis. Prosecutors eventually dropped the charges, and a court ruled the actions illegal. While the family accepted the apology, they remain unsatisfied and seek further investigation into the 'hostage justice' system, where lengthy detentions are used to coerce confessions.
