Former death row inmate attends meeting against death penalty

TOKYO, Japan - Iwao Hakamada (R), a former death row inmate who was freed in March 2014 after nearly 48 years in prison following a court decision to reopen his case, and his sister Hideko, attend a civic meeting seeking an end to the death penalty, in Tokyo's Shinjuku Ward on Oct. 11, 2014. Hakamada, a 78-year-old former professional boxer, was sentenced to death for the murder of four members of a family in Shizuoka Prefecture in 1966, but was freed after the Shizuoka District Court approved DNA test results that showed blood found on five items of clothing said to have been worn by the culprit was not Hakamada's.
