Admin’s Note

This news raises important issues regarding social power structures. The approval of bail for the former prosecutor general will have a profound impact not only on the legal aspects but also on the feelings of the victims. In particular, as the suffering of the victimized women is being reported, how such cases are handled is crucial for considering the future of our society. I feel that each of us needs to be aware of this issue and engage in ongoing discussions about it.
