High court overturns school decertification; questions abuse evidence

"Police referred the man's case to prosecutors alleging he abducted and confined the student but it was decided he would not be indicted in March 2023."

Meh, he was only Vietnamese, right? Now, if this had happened on an American base to a Japanese student, for example, or a Japanese overseas, there would be demands for the death penalty, not just a school being stripped of its license for literally abducting and chaining people up.

"With some of the facts in the case remaining uncertain, "evidence needs to be carefully evaluated," Presiding Judge Takeshi Okada said when handing down the ruling at Fukuoka High Court and overturning a lower court's decision."

That's what justice entails, it doesn't matter about Nationality. And the article doesn't explain the reasoning , why was the student chained.

Japanese teacher doing that to Vietnamese students, everyone in Japan try it to make it as if that negligible. Imagine if opposite happen, or foreign teacher did that to Japanese students. It will be over on the news over and over again.

In 2021 a Vietnamese students stated his intention to quit the school and changed to other school, instead granting his right. Staff from that school locked him with metal chain and a padlock. After that he was locked in room and monitored to prevent his escape.

J Govt punished that school by decertifying that school, which right thing to do.

This should have been illegal detention and frustrated kidnapping. But given this is Japan, nothing will happen to a Japanese who violated a "foreigners" rights.

Japan's "justice" system strikes again.

Japan does not need to go down the European route of unwanted foreigner imports.

Think long term! Pay your own people more!

There I was thinking this was about a Japanese man chaining up a foreigner with impunity.

The quality of the teaching must be appalling if students need to be chained up to force them to stay for the lectures!

I think they may have got as far as the word "Vietnamese", then filled in the rest of the article to fit their views.

And they didn't even have to chain them up and padlock them to it!

No, they know the origin of the story is Vietnamese "students" coming on false pretenses as students to get into the country to work.
