The bereaved family did not provide appropriate medical care due to the death of a Sri Lankan woman who was housed in the facility of the Nagoya Regional Immigration Bureau, saying that she thought it was okay for her to die. The Nagoya District Public Prosecutor's Office dismissed the charges against the director at the time, who had been charged with criminal charges for murder.
Last March, a Sri Lankan woman, Wishma Sandamari (33), who was housed in the facility of the Nagoya Regional Immigration Bureau, died of illness.
The Immigration Bureau of Japan released a final report stating that the system for proper treatment was inadequate, but the bereaved family continued detention without providing appropriate medical care to Mr. Wishma who complained of poor physical condition. Last year, he filed a complaint with the Nagoya District Public Prosecutor's Office on suspicion of murder, saying that it was okay for at least seven people, including the then director of the Administration Bureau, to die.
As a result of the investigation, the Nagoya District Public Prosecutor's Office dismissed the case on the 17th, saying that there was no suspicion of the director at that time.
In addition, he did not prosecute the alleged death of the protection officer who was proceeding with the investigation after receiving a criminal accusation from a man in Nagoya City.
A total of 13 people were not prosecuted, and the prosecution determined that the cause of death of Mr. Wishma could not be identified, and that there was no causal relationship between the immigration response and Mr. Wishma's death.
The prosecution said, "In order to identify the cause of death, we did our best to clarify the facts, such as scrutinizing the test results and anatomical results of the body and listening to specialists in various fields."
The Nagoya District Court is continuing a trial in which the bereaved family is seeking compensation from the government over this issue.
Bereaved family "I'm really sorry"
Wishma's two younger sisters and their attorney-at-law, who died, were interviewed by the press after being briefed at the Nagoya District Public Prosecutor's Office on the 17th.
According to the report, the prosecution explained that Wishma's cause of death could not be identified as "there is a high possibility of physical complications associated with malnutrition dehydration."
In addition, he explained that the immigration did not neglect to provide appropriate medical care and food, and that there was no causal relationship between the immigration response and Mr. Wishma's death.
In addition, the prosecution said that the suspicion of abandonment of the person in charge of protection and corporate manslaughter would not be established.
Wishma's sister, Paul Nima, said, "What would you think if your family were the same? We also think the same as you think. It's a shame because we've been fighting hard for over a year. I said.
In addition, Shoichi Shijuku, a lawyer representing the bereaved family, said, "I think it is not normal for Japanese society to end without being charged with criminal liability. I would like to pursue criminal liability." He said it was unreasonable that the prosecution did not prosecute him, and soon announced his intention to file an examination with the prosecution examination committee.
Nagoya Regional Immigration Bureau "Refrain from commenting"
Following the prosecution's non-indictment, the Nagoya Regional Immigration Bureau commented, "We are not in a position to answer the decisions and decisions of the investigative authorities, so we will refrain from commenting."
