In March, the Immigration Bureau of Japan announced the final report to be compiled next week due to the death of a Sri Lankan woman who had been detained at the Nagoya Regional Immigration Bureau. We have decided to disclose the copied images only to the bereaved family.
A Sri Lankan woman, Wishma Sandamari (33), who was detained at the Nagoya Regional Immigration Bureau, died in March after complaining of poor physical condition. The final report is expected to be compiled next week.
In publishing this final report, the Immigration Bureau of Japan has decided to disclose only the bereaved families the images of the surveillance cameras that show the state of Mr. Wishma in the facility in response to the request of the bereaved families who are visiting Japan. I did.
The Immigration Bureau of Japan seems to have judged that there are few concerns about privacy and security regarding detention facilities if it is disclosed to the bereaved family, and after the final report is published, ask the bereaved family to watch the video when explaining the contents. We are making adjustments.
Regarding Mr. Wishma's video, the opposition party will not disclose the video to the bereaved families when deliberating amendments such as the Immigration Control and Refuge Law to review the deportation of foreigners who have been deported in the previous ordinary Diet session. The government and the ruling party postponed the enactment of the amendment because they insisted that they would not accept the vote.
