Request to attend the 11th hearing of the national compensation lawsuit in the case of Mr. Suraj.

Suraj during his lifetime

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、スラジュさんを死に追いやった入管職員(のうちの4名)の尋問です。これまで被告であるにもかかわらず一度も出廷しなかった職員たちがようやく姿を現します。ぜひ一日お休みを取って傍聴にご協力いただければと思います。
