Foreigners applying for refugee status to the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) office in Japan, who are concerned about the amendment to the Immigration Control and Refuge Law, which is being deliberated in the Diet. , I asked the Minister of Justice to convey that view.
Regarding the draft amendment to the Immigration Control Act, which is under deliberation in the Diet, UNHCR last month said, "There are various aspects that raise very serious concerns," although there are some parts that are expected to lead to stronger protection for refugees. I have the view that.
On the 14th, members of a group of foreigners and supporters applying for refugee status visit the UNHCR office in Minato-ku, Tokyo, and asked the Minister of Justice to convey their views.
In response to the offer, the person in charge of the office replied, "I have been communicating my views to the Ministry of Justice and others. I would like to share the contents of the offer within the office."
A Rohingya man from Myanmar, a minority in Myanmar who has been persecuted by the military, said, "We are currently applying for a third refugee status, and a person like me may be deported during the procedure if the amendment is passed. It's dangerous, so please help me. "
Also, a Bangladeshi man who is also applying for refugee status for the third time said, "Because I was doing political activities in my home country, there is a danger of life if I am deported. I want you to stop the revision." ..
