iwao hamada was arrested for murder, robbery and arson in 1966. two years later he was sentenced to death, in 2014 he was released due to a review of the case, although there is no death penalty. you know, this is the first such case in japan, and no one can explain it to you from a legal point of view. for the long time he spent waiting for the death penalty, iwao hamada even got into the guinness book of records. but this can hardly be called an achievement, rather an exhausting test. in a solitary confinement cell for death row, he spent more than 30 years, all this time, trying to prove his innocence. according to ivao, he was interrogated daily, on average for 10-12 hours, and was brutally beaten. the longest interrogation lasted 16 hours. at the same time, he was not allowed to go to the toilet, forced to do so right in the interrogation room, despite the heat, he was not allowed to drink. under these conditions, akamadasan gave a confession. apparently, the man's nervous system could not withstand such tests, and mental health problems bega

in this camp. whose residents rely mainly on honora support, many families here, like murad abu hamada's, struggle with poverty and limited assistance. what makes it even harder for murad is being jobless for years now. i can't work because of a car accident 15 years ago, the person who hit me wasn't insured or licensed. while my chest fractures were treated, the pain remains. i get breathless easily and can't exert myself, so i'm unable to work. murad is father of four girls and a boy. delal, 13 years old. mohammed, five years old. laila, seven years old. batul, 10, and rital 11 years old. rital says that neither she nor her siblings have any school allowance. they go to an honorable school where no meals are provided, we don't receive our allowance, we haven't eat fruit or meat in a long time, the family lives in a... crammed two bedroom apartment that could barely fit a family of this size. 5ive-year-old muhammad has skin condition. murad says he took him to the hospital but can't afford treatment expenses. murad leads us to his kitchen and shows us his refrigerator, empty. despite th
