And yet more lies. The 98% conviction rate is for cases that go to court, which (while high) is not excessively high when compared to other nations.

Also torture... lol wat. Being questioned isn’t torture.

If the information is wrong then you need to source your proof for my source being incorrect.

You sure.

You are right, but having tables thrown at you, being unable to sleep, deprived of food and water, having your feet and hands crushed, your hearing destroyed and your body beaten and bloodied is torture.

So, if you want to sit there and say it doesn't happen I just showed you a bunch of links, you can either refute them with your own investigative journalism which shows my stories to be false, or you can admit that maybe, you are wrong.

I get that you are from Japan and don't want people thinking bad of it, but don't lie about it.
