On March 22, 2010, Abubagar Awudu Suraj, a Ghanaian national (hereinafter referred to as Mr. Suraj), died while being deported at government expense. The death occurred when immigration officials accompanying him forcibly restrained him using handcuffs, towels, and personal zip ties, which are not permitted by regulations.

To uncover the truth behind Suraj's death, we filed a lawsuit on August 5, 2010, seeking damages from the government and immigration officials. Suraj regretted overstaying his visa and only wished to live in Japan with his wife. Through this lawsuit, we will uncover why Suraj had to die.

次回期日は、いよいよ判決となります。この裁判で、送還の残酷な実態、入管職員の人権意識の低さなどが露呈し、死因鑑定書への疑念が湧き上がりました。こうした事実を裁判所がどのように判断するのか、皆さんの耳で直接聞きに来てください。
法廷は、判決の言い渡し法廷としては異例と言っていい、とても広い103法廷です(80名ほどの傍聴席があります)。皆様、総結集でぜひ「勝訴」の瞬間に立ち会ってください!
