Japan’s court on Friday acquitted a former Vietnamese technical trainee of abandoning the bodies of newborns she gave birth to at home in 2020, in a case that highlighted the strain pregnant foreign trainees in Japan faced.
The Supreme Court overturned the verdicts of Le Thi Thuy Linh, 24, who received a suspended jail sentence of three months by two lower courts last year, ruling that her action did not constitute corpse abandonment.
