Top court sorry for "unlawful" treatment of leprosy patients

Yasushi Shimura (R), leader of a group of former leprosy patients, attends a press conference in the southwestern Japanese city of Koshi on April 25, 2016, after the Supreme Court offered an apology to former patients over the past discriminatory practice of trying them outside of standard courtrooms without properly examining the need to do so. Shimura said, however, it is unreasonable that the top court did not squarely admit to any constitutional violations. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
