from Disability News Japan · host Michael Gillan Peckitt

In 2024, at a vocational high school run by Musashino Higashi Gakuen in Musashino City, a male board chairman was sent for indictment on suspicion of coercion for forcing a female student, then in her third year, to write an apology letter. On the 2nd, the Tachikawa branch of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office announced that he would not be prosecuted. The decision is effective as of March 31, and no reasons have been disclosed. And yes, Barrier Free Japan has been published in the online publication ‘Unseen Japan.’ Episode Notes: ‘Parents Say Tokyo School Once Safe for Autistic Kids Is In “Crisis’ (Unseen Japan): https://unseen-japan.com/musashino-higashi-gakuen-school-crisis/ ‘Prosecutors Decide Not to Prosecute ‘Inclusive’ Tokyo School Chairman Over Coercion of Female Student’: https://barrierfreejapan.com/2025/04/03/prosecutors-decide-not-to-prosecute-inclusive-tokyo-school-chairman-over-coercion-of-female-student/
