“When the guardian of a woman ordered to be sterilized sought nullification of the decision by the local eugenic protection council in July 1965, the panel turned down the complaint on the grounds that the guardian “did not have sufficient understanding of the law.” ”
“The 75-year-old man, now using the name of Saburo Kita is the fifth defendant to reveal his face among 13 who are suing the government over the sterilization procedure under the old law, and is a joint representative of a victims’ organization. The third hearing of his damages trial is scheduled to take place at the Tokyo District Court on Dec. 20.”
“The central government has taken the stance that it will fight the suit demanding 33 million yen in compensation, but did not make any mention of its position on the constitutionality of the now-defunct law. Facing the courtroom to give her testimony, the woman lamented, “Give me back a body that can bear children.” “
“The envisioned bill will have a preamble which says, “We sincerely reflect on and deeply apologize for the great physical and mental suffering” inflicted.”

“The ‘7.26 Kobe Action Group’ has been attempting to raise disability awareness since the killing of disabled people at a Sagamihara care home on July 26th 2016.”
“The working team does not plan to notify each victim individually. The team cited reasons including, “Some people do not want others to know they underwent this surgery.” Instead, the relief program will be publicized and the people will be urged to apply for redress.”
“The nondisclosure policy, which would even be applied to victims with surgery records, is designed to protect the victims’ privacy, say its drafters. But caregivers of victims with intellectual disabilities and experts suspect that its hidden goal is to limit the number of people who come forward to receive the compensation.”
