It’s not a sentence, it’s a full stop
Hakamada Iwao is on death row in Japan. Japan's policy is to execute by hanging in secret. Prisoners are typically given a few hours notice, or none at all. Families are only notified after the execution has happened. This means Hakamada has spent 43 years not knowing if today would be his last.
