再審見直し法案「抜け道のないように」 袴田巌さんの姉が国会で訴え

Hakamada Iwao's sister, Hideko Hakamada, has appealed to the National Diet to ensure that proposed revisions to the retrial review law do not contain loopholes. The legislation aims to streamline the process for requesting retrials in criminal cases. Hideko Hakamada expressed concerns that the current draft might inadvertently allow for the dismissal of legitimate retrial requests. She emphasized the importance of a fair and transparent system for those seeking to overturn wrongful convictions.

This legislation is crucial for ensuring justice and preventing miscarriages of justice for individuals like Iwao Hakamada, who have long maintained their innocence.
