一名持有土耳其国籍的库尔德籍男子在东京一家警察局拘留所死亡，其家属起诉了东京都政府以及该警察局合同医生所在的诊所。
The bereaved family of a Kurdish man holding Turkish nationality who died in custody at a Tokyo police station has sued the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the clinic where the police station’s contract doctor works.
家属周二向东京地方法院提起诉讼，要求赔偿5700万日元（约合36.1万美元）及其他救济。
In the suit filed with the Tokyo District Court on Tuesday, the family is demanding ¥57 million ($361,000) in damages and other relief.
根据起诉书，死者名为穆拉特·奇切克，7月2日上午在东京都警方高尾警察局拘留所被羁押期间，因腹膜炎去世，享年48岁。
According to the complaint, the deceased was Murat Cicek, who died of peritonitis at age 48 on the morning of July 2 while in detention at the Metropolitan Police Department’s Takao station in Hachioji.
穆拉特6月25日在八王子市发生一起财产损失事故后，因未随身携带护照而涉嫌违反《入境管理与难民认定法》被捕，随后被关押在该警察局。
Murat was detained there after being arrested on suspicion of violating the immigration control and refugee recognition law by failing to carry his passport when he had a property damage accident in Hachioji on June 25.
原告方面表示，该医生未进行适当检查，漏诊了穆拉特肠道上的一个穿孔，尽管穆拉特在被捕四天后开始呕吐并感到腹痛。
The plaintiff side said the doctor failed to perform appropriate examinations and overlooked a hole in Murat’s bowel, although he began vomiting and experiencing stomach pain four days after his arrest.
家属还称，即使穆拉特的体温降至35摄氏度以下，高尾警察局仍未对其进行治疗，并且尽管医生有指示，也未将其送往医疗机构。
The family also said the Takao police station left Murat untreated, even after his body temperature fell below 35 degrees Celsius, and failed to take him to a medical institution despite the doctor’s instructions.
该案件“反映出警察组织内部严重缺乏人权意识”，该家属律师神原肇在新闻发布会上表示。“我们将通过诉讼追究责任。”
The case “reflects a profound lack of human rights awareness within the police organization,” the family’s attorney, Hajime Kanbara, told a news conference. “We’ll pursue accountability in the suit.”
