The government says that it is essential to clarify the truth about the death of a Sri Lankan woman in the detention facility over the amendment of the Immigration Control and Refuge Law, which reviews the detention of foreigners.・ The ruling party has decided to forgo the passage of the amendment in the current Diet and has informed the Constitutional Democratic Party.

Amendments to the Immigration Control and Refuge Act, etc., were generally agreed upon last week in the amendment talks between the ruling and opposition parties, but they negotiated over the disclosure of a video showing the situation inside the facility of a Sri Lankan woman who died in the detention facility. The opposition party has submitted a resolution to dismiss the chairman of the Legal Committee of the House of Representatives in order to prevent the vote.



Under these circumstances, the Constitutional Democratic Party, the Communist Party, and the Democratic Party for the People's Parliamentary Countermeasures Committee met on the morning of the 18th, and at least responded to the approval of the amendment unless the video was disclosed to the bereaved families of Sri Lankan women visiting Japan. Confirmed no policy.



In response to this, the government and the ruling party decided that it is not desirable to pass the amendment without the understanding of the opposition party, and decided to forgo the passage in the current Diet, and the Liberal Democratic Party gave such a policy to the Constitutional Democratic Party. I told you.



After this, the secretary-generals of both parties are scheduled to meet, and the opposition party is coordinating to withdraw the resolution to dismiss the chairman of the legal affairs committee that had been submitted to the House of Representatives.

Kunio Moriyama, Chairman, "We have to make a heavy decision to normalize the Diet."

The Liberal Democratic Party's chairman of the Diet, Moriyama, told reporters, "The proposal to dismiss the chairman means that the Diet has not been normalized. It is extremely regrettable that we must make a heavy decision to normalize the Diet, especially regarding the handling of amendments such as the Immigration Control and Refuge Law. "

Constitutional Democratic Party Chairman "Even if it is judged that the amendment is virtually abandoned"

The Constitutional Democratic Party's chairman of the National Assembly, Azumi, told reporters, "I think it's okay to judge that the amendment has been abandoned. If the ruling party's decision is in line with our intentions, I would highly appreciate it. Naturally, I would like to consider withdrawing the resolution to dismiss the chairman of the House of Representatives Legal Affairs Committee. "
