Infertility surgery by the old eugenics protection law testimony `` the country sincerely apologizes '' January 16 18:22
In a trial in which a man in his 70s was seeking compensation from the country for infertility surgery under the old Eugenic Protection Law, a question was asked of himself, and the man said, `` The country apologizes sincerely, we I want you to face it. "
A 76-year-old man in Tokyo who is claiming damage in the name of Kita Saburo is seeking compensation from the country for infertility surgery under the former Eugenic Protection Law in 1957.
In the trial held in the Tokyo District Court on the 16th, Mr. Kita and her sister were interrogated.
Mr. Kita commented on the situation when he was given a sterilization operation at the age of 14 when he was in a welfare facility for delinquency, saying, `` I received surgery without any explanation from the institutional teacher or hospital doctor. Was done. "
He also told his wife that he had undergone sterile surgery after marriage, and he testified that he had finally confided a few days before his wife's death, saying, `` To my wife who has suffered for 62 years since the surgery and wanted a child, I have suffered. The country sincerely apologizes and wants us to face us. "
In court cases filed in various parts of Japan, the Sendai District Court ruled last month in May that the court ruled that the constitution was violated, but dismissed the complaint that the time limit for seeking compensation has already passed.
The trial in the Tokyo District Court is also late, and the court's judgment will be watched.
