The Bahamas Court of Appeal has awarded $500,000 to a Japanese amnesiac who was kept in a Bahamas prison and an immigration center for eight years without being charged. Atain Takitota, 41, was held unlawfully, the court said last week. Atain said he went to a Paradise Island casino shortly after he arrived in the Bahamas in August 1992 from Osaka, Japan. He said his luggage and passport were stolen. Police arrested him that night, at first suspecting that he had tried to break into a vehicle and later believing that he was a vagrant. |
