Japan: We Can’t Trust The Testimony Of Black People · Global Voices
Oiwan Lam

Debito reports on a court case about a Nigerian, UC Valentine, being denied of medical treatment after police abuse in 2003. Consequently, his leg injury became so medically traumatized that it required complex hospital operations. The case was put on court in 2005 but a testimony of an African was rejected because of his race and the case was dismissed early this year. An appeal has been put forward to High court and tomorrow (July 17) is the first hearing.
