1. >Ram said weakly, “When I complained to immigration center employees about the pain, they told me to ‘be patient,’ and when I cried out in agony, they said I was just faking it. If I had been taken to the hospital earlier, this would not have happened.”

   Words cannot describe how infuriated I am reading this.

2. The LDP had the opportunity to take action to prevent the reoccurrence of incidents such as this when they were deciding the contents of last week’s [immigration bill](https://www.reddit.com/r/japan/comments/144usb2/japans_new_immigration_bill_passed_making_it/), but it doesn’t seem as though they have any interest in doing so.

   To be clear, the left-wing opposition parties were indeed criticizing the human rights issues taking place in immigration detention facilities during the long debate process in committee, so it’s not as though this is “out of scope”.
