A: Hey there! Guess what's making headlines today?
B: What's up, friend? I don't know. Tell me!

A: So, a Japanese high court just ordered our local government to pay around 250 grand to the family of a Nepalese guy who died in police custody back in '17!
B: Whoa, really?! What happened?

A: Well, this guy was arrested for having someone else's credit card. While being interrogated at the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, he lost consciousness and later passed away at a hospital.
B: That sounds awful... He was held at Shinjuku Police Station beforehand, where they kept him restrained with handcuffs and ropes for long periods.

A: Exactly! His wife claimed the police and prosecutors handled things inappropriately and sought over 390 grand in damages.
B: And what did the court say?

A: Last year, the lower court didn't find the restraint illegal but ordered the government to pay around 6 grand for poor medical treatment. Both sides appealed, and this week, the high court agreed that they used too much force and hindered his blood circulation!
B: Wow, so the family is getting a lot more money now?

A: Absolutely! The high court increased the compensation to around 39 million yen, which equals about 250 grand. That's a significant increase from the lower court's ruling!
