Nepal man cleared of Japan murder after 15 years in jail
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2012/11/924.jpg Mr Mainali has always steadfastly proclaimed his innocence
A court in Japan has formally acquitted a Nepalese man who spent 15 years in jail for a murder that he did not commit.
Govinda Prasad Mainali said that the Japanese government, police and anyone else involved in his case should now apologise to him and his family.
The migrant worker was convicted in 2000 of murdering a Japanese woman.
His conviction was first quashed in June. He has now been declared not guilty by the Tokyo High Court.
Mr Mainali was sent back to Nepal in June by immigration authorities because he had overstayed his visa during his time in prison.
The court still went ahead with his retrial at the start of last week, however, with the prosecution saying it now believed he was innocent.
