The third hearing in the Suraj case state compensation lawsuit has ended

Reporting

On January 21, 2015, the third hearing of the appeal hearing for state compensation in the Suraj case was held.
This time, it was the defendant's side that argued. They submitted documents such as the opinion of a leading forensic pathologist and a statement from an immigration official, stating that Suraj did not die from suffocation and that the actions of the officials were not illegal under the state compensation law. Therefore, the next hearing will again be a counterargument from the plaintiff's side, and the trial is likely to conclude.

After the trial, we moved to another location and held a report session. The defense team explained the government's arguments and future developments. (The photo shows the report session.)

The next hearing will be held on Wednesday, April 8, 2015 at 10:30 a.m. in Courtroom 825 of the Tokyo High Court. This will be the final climax of the appeal hearing, where the defense team will present their counterarguments. We would appreciate your continued cooperation in attending the hearing.
