Iwao Khakamad, who was unfairly condemned for the death penalty.

This story has a positive junction, that's just waiting for it by 46 years old! The Japanese athlete unfairly condemned and sentenced to the death penalty. 12 years he stayed in a detention facility, and then another 34 years - in the death row. It is terribly submitting what a convicted one was thought of waiting for his fate, knowing that every new day could be the last.


Iwao Khakamada is a former athlete who has expecting a sentence of 46 years.

For more than half a century ago, Ivao Khakamad was successful in Japan athlete, but a calm and measured life collapsed at one moment when he was charged with the murder of the head of the noodle enterprise and his family. In 1967, when tragedy occurred, IVAO worked at this factory. In the Chan with noodles, the police found clothes with blood stains. Arrested Iwao Khakamad.

During the investigation of the case from the suspect, "knocked out" recognition to tortures. IVAO oppressed morally and physically: they did not give to drink and eat, beat, conducted multi-day interrogations. In the end, the Japanese could not stand the bullying and wrote sincere recognition.

At the court, Hakamad refused to indicate, stating that they were made under pressure, but the court did not take it into account. On the indirect not involved in the murder also indicated the clothing found. After all, she was two sizes less than Ivao wore. Despite the lack of direct evidence, in two years of investigation, Khakamad was sentenced to the highest punishment - a taste of hanging.

Hidko Hakamada -
The sister is unfairly convicted, which struggled for his liberation of 46 years.

Sister Yveso Hideko Khakmada did not lose hope for the liberation of his brother and forced three times the lawyers to appeal to appeal against the sentence. 44 years after the conclusion of IVAO in custody, Hideco achieved a DNA test. Blood samples on found clothes did not coincide with the blood of the convict. The case was again sent to the revision, and only in two years IVAO was released from prison.

While Hideco fought for the liberation of his brother, Iwao Khakamad was in the Squader's chamber. It is there that the criminals alone wait for the execution of the sentence. It's unimaginable to imagine what happened with IVAO when he understood that he was about to come and hang. He waited for this for 46 years.

On the day of liberation, the crowd of paparazzi was gathered before prison, since one of the Japanese television companies decided to make a film about life unfairly convicted. When a 78-year-old old man appeared on the porch, journalists in need began to ask so that I wanted Ivao to eat. In the end, one of the operators won the rest: "Leave it! Do not see, he forgot what it means to live a normal life. " Here IVAO raised his eyes and said: "I want beer and cake."

Iwao Khakamada gives an interview.

In the course of working on the documentary film, Paraszi went to one of the three judges of Norimiti Kumamoto, who sentenced IVAO to the highest punishment. Many years ago he was the only one who tried to defend unfairly convicted, and in 2007 he stated that he was constantly pressure on him. When the judge was told about the pardon of IVAO, tears flowed from his eyes.


Hideco and Ivao Khakamada.

Ivao Khakamad himself returned to normal life. We needed inhuman efforts and patience of the sister so that her brother would come out of the state of Apathia and began to smile.

The name of the Japanese Ivao Khakamada in most of its compatriots is associated with the imperfection of the country's judicial system, which may be condemned even an innocent person. Khakamad spent 46 years in prison, while 34 years old he sat in a single death row chamber.

50 years ago, young Ivao Khakamad worked at the factory for the production of bean paste, professionally dealt with boxing and made certain successes in this sport. On June 30, 1966, the owner of the factory, as well as his wife and two children were brutally killed in their own home.

Spliced \u200b\u200bblood killed shirt was discovered in the factory and, according to the investigators, the shirt belonged to Hakamada. He was arrested and a grateful testimony was broken under cruel torture. Based on this shirt and other fabricted evidence in September 1968, the court recognized the guy guilty and sentenced him to hanging.

For 12 years, the prisoner tried to appeal the verdict, however, in 1980 the Supreme Court of the country confirmed the legality of Verdict and IVAO Khakamad was placed in a death hammer chamber. On the will of his liberation continued to seek the Hideco sister, which in 2012 achieved a DNA test. After that, the case was revised and only in March 2014 the unfairly convicted man was released.



At the time of liberation he was 78 years old, his health and mental state were undermined. But thanks to the efforts of the relatives Ivao Khakamad, he partly returned to normal life and managed to tell how long I was waiting for the moment of his liberation.

Almost half a century, a professional box conducted in the chamber, waiting for the execution of the death sentence. In the past, a successful athlete with great prospects, he was accused of killing his boss, his wife and two children. The fate played with the Japanese Iwao Khakamada, a keen joke, in the very precious strength depriving his hope for the future.

The murder in which Khakamad was accused was committed on June 30, 1966. The victim was the head of a large firm that produced a legume pasta. He was found dead in his own home. Also discovered the body of the wife and two children of a businessman. After the crucifier, the offender was underway the house and disappeared.
Suspusage Palo on the work of the same company Ivao Khakamada. At the plant they discovered splashing shirt. It was hidden in a chamber with the ingredients for the production of paste and the Hakamad could belong according to the investigators. The proceedings lasted for about two years.

In September 1968, the District Court in Szizuoka made his verdict. Khakamada was sentenced to execution, the only practiced in Japan in the way - through hanging. In addition to the bloody shirt, the main argument was the recognition of IVAO himself. As it was installed today, to achieve this recognition, the Japanese tortured.

The Japanese press, speaking a lot about this case, leads the words of Hakamada himself, who told the shocking details to his relatives and lawyers. His interrogation lasted 23 days in a row. All this time, he was beaten, they did not give to drink, did not take it into the toilet, trying to break the will and make the protocol sign, according to which Khakamada recognizes itself guilty of murdering four people. As a result, he signed everything. The court was inexorable and appointed an athlete to be the highest sentence.

For almost 30 years, the sentence tried to force the authorities to revise his business. He managed to do this in 1980. But the revision of the Supreme Court of Japan did not bring the expected results. The legality of the previously made sentence was confirmed.

"Three years later, Hakamad wrote his son:" I will prove to you that your father did not kill anyone. The police know it better than everyone, and the judges who led the case, too. I will break this iron chain and return to you, "reports" The Japan Daily Press. " In addition to the children who condemned in the wild was waiting for his older sister Hidco Khakamad, who also had every effort to be released. She forced the lawyers three times to appeal the court decision.

All this time of her brother was kept in the death bulls chamber in complete isolation. Iwao Khakamada understood that every day his life could be the last. At any minute, the door could operate, and under the convoy they could be delivered to the room, where the rope hangs from the ceiling. In this state he lived 46 years old. Almost thirty of them he managed to hold out, but then the reason began to leave the prisoner. Speech became incoherent, he began to refuse dates from his family.

After making sentence, 44 years have passed, when Hideco's sister managed to achieve a DNA test. It turned out that the blood on that shirt itself belongs not to IVAO, but another person. It was decided to revise the case again. The procedure lasted for about two years, only in March 2014, Khakamad was able to get out of prison.

His case was introduced into the Guinness Records Book. Hakamada was recognized as a man who arrived longer than anyone in the Summer Camera. This experience was sadly affected by the state of the Japanese, by the time I became a deep old man. SUTUSH, with a flattened face without any expression, Khakamada, it seemed, did not adhere to his liberation.
When he first appeared before journalists, he asked what he wants to eat. Iwao was silent for a long time, having filled his eyes, but in the end he said "I want beer and cake."

For a long time after going to freedom, the former prisoner-suicide could not smile. Emotions seemed to be not available to him anywhere. However, he gradually began to come back to normal. Now 82-year-old Iwao Khakamad lives the life of an ordinary Japanese pensioner.

Iwao Khakamad spent 46 years in prison, of which 34 years - in a single-born chamber for suicide. In 2014, Khakamada was recognized as innocent and released. The monstrous judicial error led to the fact that the unfortunate Japanese spent most of his life behind bars.

When the 78-year-old IVAO was finally at freedom, his mental health was strongly shaken. Still would! 34 years live in absolute isolation, without communication with the outside world, without information about his own destiny, expecting every day that they will come for you today and take out the execution.

The Japanese suicide subwind over the Count Monte Cristo: Ivao Khakamad had spent almost half a century behind bars waiting for the death penalty. In Japan, he became a symbol of cruelty of a police and judicial system, and in 2011 he was introduced to the Guinness Book of Records as a prisoner, longer than everyone waiting for the execution of the highest penalties.

More than 50 years ago, Ivao Khakamad was a professional boxer, very successful in his country, but his life has changed overnight. Hakamad was sentenced to the death penalty for the murder, which was committed on June 30, 1966. Then the head of the Japanese company for the production of bean paste was found in his own house dead. The offender also killed his wife and two children of a businessman, then settled the room.

The main suspect became an employee of the company IVAO Khakamada. The plant was found a shirt splashing the blood killed. The offender hid it in the Chan with leggings. According to the investigation, she belonged to Khakamad, and it was she who became the main evidence in this matter.

In September 1968, the District Court in Sizzoka sentenced Hakamad to the death penalty. The conviction was submitted to him on the basis of "recognition", made under multiple torture, using evidence that the court recognized was fabricated.

Later, the prisoner told the family and lawyers that he was interrogated for 23 days. No defender did not provide him. During interrogations, he was beaten, they did not allow water and did not lead to the toilet, demanding sign confessions.

The next few decades of Khakamad tried to revise his business. But in 1980, the Supreme Court of the country confirmed the legality of the verdict. Three years later, Khakamada wrote his son: "I will prove to you that your father did not kill anyone. Police knows this better than all, and the judges who led the case, too. I will break this iron chain and return to you. " Hakamada was waiting for the elder sister (in the photo), which sought his liberation.

Hidco Khakamad fought for the liberation of the unfair convicted brother 46 years. All these years, she did not lose hope for the liberation of IVAO and three times forced the lawyers to appeal to appeal against the sentence.

All this time Ivao Khakamad was in the Squader's chamber. It is there that the criminals alone wait for the execution of the sentence. It is difficult to imagine what happened with IVAO when he understood that he was about to come and hang. He waited for this for 46 years.

Later, long-term content in a single chamber damaged the reason for the prisoner. He began to incoherently express thoughts and refused meetings with his sister and other family members.

44 years after the conclusion of IVAO in custody, his sister Hideco achieved a DNA test. Blood samples on found clothes did not coincide with the blood of the convict. The case was again sent to the revision, and only in two years, in March 2014, IVAO was released from prison.

In Japan, death convicted to death contains in full insulation from the outside world, which, in addition to a single conclusion, also implies limited communication with relatives. Khakamad lived in such conditions not just a few years, but a few decades.

When he went out of prison under bright outbreaks of cameras and the radiance of spotlights, the media saw the unacceptable released, but a little bit of an elderly person without expression on her face. Then journalists in vain began to ask what Ivao would now want to eat. In the end, one of the operators won the rest: "Leave it! Do not see, he forgot what it means to live a normal life. " Here IVAO raised his eyes and said: "I want beer and cake."

Human rights defenders criticized the Punishment system of Japan, which includes the death penalty. The prisoners do not say when the sentence will be executed, and it is too cruel and painfully. "Peaceful suffering due to the fact that a person believes that every day - his last day of life is scary," said the director of the British branch of Amnesty International Kate Allen. - But the Japanese justice system considers it necessary to keep sentences sentenced to execution in the acton, insulation and silence, which can only be represented.

Ivao Khakamad himself returned to normal life. We needed inhuman efforts and patience of the sister so that her brother would come out of the state of Apathia and began to smile.

Iwao Khakamada. I present to you the facts of the biography and the tragic history of the Japanese boxer-professional, which spent in prison for more than 44 years.

Childhood and youth

Iwao Khakamad was born on March 10, 1936 in the city of Szizuoka ( Japan). From early childhood, the boy was fond of martial arts. He trained in various karate styles and visited Cando classes ( martial art of Japanese fencing on bamboo swords).

At the age of 18, after graduating from high school, IVAO for the first time recalled the threshold of the Boxing Hall. The family lived poorly and the young man was forced to combine training with the work of the cab. While his elder brother - Shigedzhi worked, Ivao trained. As soon as the 10-hour brother change ended the hakamad fell into his place. Sister - Hideko worked in the laundry. The guys rarely saw each other. Their childhood passed in an endless struggle for several Sep and tight dinner ( sen -japanese currency: 100 Sep was 1 yen, was withdrawn from circulation in 1954).

Boxing classes were not systematic. Khakamada is too tired at work and could not demonstrate a good result in training. However, the water sharpens a stone. The stubborn young man was gaining experience and twice entered the number of medalists at the local amateur tournament. Iwao understood that only boxing could bring him income, but for this it was necessary to switch to a professional level.

Professional boxing

At the end of 1959, at the age of 23, Hakamada debuted on a professional ring. He boxed several times a month and alternated victory and defeat. Boxing began to generate income. Iwao left the driver's work and focused on training. The results were not forced to wait. In July 1960, he defeated the famous Japanese boxer - Masaki Fog. This Victoria allowed Khakamad to be located on the 6th line of the overall world rank of the semi-high division.

The title duel was close, but several defeats were thrown back IVAO on the backyards of ratings. From February to August 1961, he suffered 6 defeats in a row and decided to complete his career. His record was: 16 victories, 1 knockout, 11 lesions and 2 draws. It is worth noting that Hakamad never lost ahead of schedule. No boxer could send him even to Nokdown. Fighting spirit and resilience will still play a role in his tragic history.

Jail

Boxer career IVAO lasted less than 2 years. During this time he spent 29 battles. The money earned quickly ended. Khakamad got a job in the processing shop of meat products. He worked at the enterprise 4 years.

In March 1966, Ivao Khakamad was accused of killing four people: his boss and his whole family. At the crime scene, in a water can, we found workwear with blood prints, allegedly belonging to the former boxer. The form was for 2 sizes less than the one that Khakamada wore.

The investigation of the case lasted 2 years. All this time sister Ivao - Hidelo fought for the liberation of his brother. She spent money on lawyers, three times filed an appeal But the Supreme Court of Japan decided to sentence Hakamad to the death penalty. Hideko was able to delay.

The investigation was stretched for 44 years (!). All this time, IVAO was in the Squader's chamber, in full solitude, waiting for the jailers every hour and send to the gallows.

Hideco achieved DNA test of bloody clothes. Blood samples on coincided with Blood IVAO. He was innocent. Two years ago it was necessary that the 78-year-old old old man was released in March 2014. Surprisingly, the man was in his right mind. Journalists have opened the former boxer. Iwao raised his eyes and said that he wanted beer and a piece of cake ...

The tragic story of Iwao Khakamada confirms the terrible imperfection of the judicial system. This case has become known all over the world. About IVAO was filmed a documentary. In 2011, Khakamad was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as a person who spent at the Squader's Chamber for more than 44 years. Weak consolation for innocent man.

Iwao returned to normal life. He alive and retained the clarity of the mind. Resistance and martial spirit, which he demonstrated in the ring, played a key role during imprisonment. For many years of loneliness and endless fear of death, he did not break and continued to believe in his innocence.
