"Prosecution Office Law Amendment Proposed Immediately Abolished" Attorneys' Association June 9, 19:10
A group of lawyers who opposed the proposed revision of the Public Prosecutor's Office Act that allows the prosecutor to extend the retirement age at the Cabinet's discretion held an online interview on the 9th, saying, "The ruling party's policy to continue deliberation on the proposed revision It could be a restraint against the investigation."
The government and the ruling party decided to abandon the establishment of the current parliament on the proposed revision of the prosecution office law, which allows prosecutors to extend their retirement age for up to three years at the discretion of the cabinet, but the ruling party side last month. At the moment, we are showing the idea of deciding the treatment at the end of the session of the Diet, in the direction of continuing deliberation.
Regarding this, an organization made up of lawyers opposed to the amendment held a press conference online on the 9th, and said, "The ruling party's policy to continue deliberation of the amendment may be a restraint on the prosecution's investigation. It's really inappropriate from the standpoint of separation of powers."
In addition, it was revealed that there are approximately 3,000 lawyers who support the activity nationwide, and he explained that he will continue to seek discontinuance with the citizens for the next week until the end of the Diet session.
At the conference on the 9th, Professor Emeritus Osamu Niikura of Aoyama Gakuin University, who co-represented the group, said, "Leaving the current state of continuous deliberation will put pressure on the prosecution. I have to change my attitude as soon as possible, and I want to make every effort to work toward the abolition."
