再審見直し、政府案に「重大な疑問」　刑事法学者142人が緊急声明：朝日新聞

This page reports that 142 criminal law scholars issued an urgent statement on revisions to Japan's retrial system. They criticize the government's bill for failing to ban prosecutors' appeals against retrial decisions, arguing it would delay finalization and prevent swift relief. The scholars call for comprehensive reforms, also raising concerns about screening procedures for retrial requests and evidence disclosure rules. The statement emphasizes that trials should be resolved through public retrial proceedings rather than non-public request reviews. The Liberal Democratic Party continues internal discussions on banning prosecutors' objections.
