"Japanese Citizens Sue Police Over Alleged Racial Profiling"

A group of Japanese citizens, including a man of Pakistani descent, has filed a civil lawsuit against the country's police, alleging racial profiling and discrimination. The plaintiffs, including a 26-year-old Japanese citizen of Pakistani descent, are demanding an end to the alleged practice and seeking punitive damages and attorney fees. They claim that being stopped by police for no apparent reason violates the Japanese constitution and international treaties. Efforts to increase diversity in Japan have been growing, but the case highlights ongoing challenges.
