Three death row prisoners have filed a lawsuit against the Japanese government, arguing that execution by hanging is cruel and should be abolished, their lawyer say.The three death row inmates have also demanded compensation for psychological distress caused since receiving the death sentence
The trio at the Osaka detention centre, whose identities have not been revealed, are "seeking an injunction" against death by hanging, lawyer Kyoji Mizutani said. A legal victory would force a stunning shake-up of execution laws in Japan, where public support is high for capital punishment despite international criticism.Executions are usually implemented long after sentencing, with inmates held for years in solitary confinement and only told of their impending death a few hours beforehand.
The mechanism is triggered in an adjacent room where several officers each press a button simultaneously, with none told which one is "live".
