Oct. 1 (UPI) -- A Nigerian man died of starvation in a Japanese immigration detention center in June, Japanese authorities said Tuesday.
The man died after three weeks of fasting while protesting his detention at Omura Immigration Center in Omura, Nagasaki Prefecture.
He was released on bail in 2015, but was sent directly to immigration detention until the time of his death.
The group criticized "worsening conditions" in immigration detention centers in Japan, according to the Asahi.
