16-year-old's death by debilitation at center of state damages suit

Original: 16歳 衰弱死

A lawsuit over the death of a 16-year-old girl who died from debilitation is being heard at the Kobe District Court. The girl's family is seeking state compensation, but both the prefecture and the national government are contesting the claim. The case has drawn wide attention in Japan, with national broadcaster NHK reporting on the government's decision to fight the damages suit rather than settle.

Why now: A government refusing responsibility in a teenager's preventable death has struck a nerve in Japan.
