Gov't to appeal ruling on damages for Taiwanese leprosy sufferer

TOKYO, Japan - Health minister Jiro Kawasaki speaks at a press conference at his office on Nov. 8 on a government decision to appeal a district court ruling that ordered the state to pay damages to a group of Taiwanese leprosy sufferers who had been segregated at a leprosarium during Japanese colonial rule. He said his ministry will ''swiftly consider about how to provide compensation for those who were at the leprosarium, apart from the trials.'' (Kyodo)

    Mexico Freezes Relations With US And Canadian Embassies

    Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, during a briefing conference at National Palace in Mexico City, Mexico, August 28, 2024. The Mexican government has paused its relationship with the U.S. and Canadian embassies in the country, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Tuesday, after their ambassadors criticized a proposed judicial reform that he backs. "There is a pause," Lopez Obrador said in a press conference, clarifying that the freeze was with the embassies and not with the countries. The president is pushing a reform to elect judges, including Supreme Court justices, by popular vote. A committee in the lower house of Mexico's Congress passed the proposal late on Monday, paving the way for it to be approved when the newly elected Congress takes office in September.
