Human Rights v. The Government of Japan:
This features the detail story of a Sri Lanka woman, Wishma Sandamali who died after a mistreatment in one of Japan’s immigration centres.

Kosuke Oie, one of the attorneys representing the Wishma Sandamali and the Sandamali family, discusses the flaws in Japan’s immigration laws, stating that unfortunately, this is not the first time a victim has been detained when seeking for help. Is this a story of blatant murder, mere negligence or lack of sympathy for foreigners?

And more.
