VOICED : Liberan condenado a muerte mas antiguo del mundo

Iwao Hakamada, the world's longest-serving death row inmate, was released after 50 years in Japan. His release does not mean freedom but a retrial due to doubts about his guilt. Hakamada was convicted in 1968 for multiple murders. Amnesty International and other NGOs have advocated for his case's review. His release coincides with a report on increased executions in 2013, highlighting Iran and Iraq's roles. Japan and the US remain the only industrialized democracies with the death penalty.
