【Summary of the case】
On March 30, 2014, Mr. W, a 43-year-old Cameroonian in custody at the Higashi-Nihon Immigration Center located in the Ushiku City, Ibaraki Prefecture, was writhing in pain and screaming “I’m dying” overnight, seeking help from detention officers. However, they haven’t confirmed the situation for nearly 7 hours, though a security camera was monitoring him. Consequently, Mr. W died of cardiopulmonary arrest.
On September 26, 2017, Ms. F, a mother of Mr. W residing in Cameroon, filed a lawsuit at the Mito District Court Ryugasaki Branch against both the Japanese government and a director of the Ushiku detention center at the time to seek 10 million yen as a compensation for the death of her son.

February 27
Mr. W submitted a request for a medical examination to the center for getting knowledge of the cause of his severe chest pain. Upon the request, a detention officer added a note of caution, stating that he had been suffering from chest pain with breathing problems for the past week as well as breaking out in a nervous sweat over his body.
March 1
Mr. W complained that he could not walk by himself due to foot pain without grasping something.
March 16
Mr. W submitted a request for a medical examination again because the foot pain has persisted for the past 12 days so far, which made him feel dizzy and unable to sleep. On that point, the same detention officer also made a note, cautioning that it was necessary for Mr. W to take a medical check as soon as possible. The officer added the fact that his cellmates had also been begging the officers to let him go to see a doctor.
March 27
11:27 am
Mr. W complained that he was feeling sick and could not stand up by himself.
11:42 am
Some detainees, who worried about Mr. W’s physical condition, stayed in a hall of the center and refused to go back to their cells with demanding that Mr. W must have a medical examination.
11:54 am
A chief detention officer ordered Mr. W to move from Room 104 to Room 3, which is prepared for those who require special treatment under surveillance of the officers. As soon as he was transferred to this room, some officers started to have an eye on Mr. W through a monitoring camera. At that time, as Mr. W needed a wheelchair, the detention officers took him to the room and put him on a bed. After his transfer to the room, other detainees who demanded for Mr. W to be treated were returned to their cells.
March 28
The results of the blood test conducted on March 27 were delivered to the detention center on March 28. However, the detention officers did not report them promptly to the doctor, who had not provided any medical examination for Mr. W until he died on March 30.

Mr. W turned over on his bed and suffered from the pain with many screaming, “I’m dying.” After that, he fell from the bed and was pushed back to the bed by the detention officers. Later on, he fell from the bed again and rolled around on the floor.
Although the officers had been observing these circumstances through the monitoring camera, they kept a journal as “there is no problem existed in Mr. W’s cell.”
March 30
Mr. W seemed to keep suffering from the pain so that he was rolling around on the floor. The detention officers recognized the situation and described it in the journal as “At 0:35 am, he was half-naked and rolling around on the floor”, “At 2:30 am, he was half-naked and laying down on his side.”
From around 3:00 am, Mr. W had been lying on his back on the lower part of his bed until the detention officers came to the cell at 7:02 am. At that time, he was almost immobile.
