Japanese police and prosecutors this week took the unusual step of offering an apology, flowers and deep bows at the grave of a wrongfully accused man who died of cancer without proper treatment because of prolonged detention.
They were apologizing to Shizuo Aishima, one of three executives at a machinery maker, Ohkawara Kakohki, based in Yokohama, near Tokyo, who were wrongfully arrested and charged in 2020 with the unauthorized export of sensitive industrial equipment.
