Based on the final report released on the 10th, the Immigration Bureau of Japan plans to improve the medical system by assigning full-time doctors to prevent recurrence due to the death of a Sri Lankan woman who was detained in the immigration facility. ..
A Sri Lankan woman, Wishma Sandamari, who was detained at the Nagoya Regional Immigration Bureau, died in March after complaining of poor physical condition. We have released a final report stating that the system for providing appropriate medical treatment was inadequate, such as determining that on-site staff were not needed even if we asked for a medical examination.
In response to this, the Immigration Bureau of Japan will explain the contents of the final report to the bereaved family on the 12th, disclose a video showing Mr. Wishma in the facility, and Minister of Justice Kamikawa will apologize. increase.
The policy is to improve the medical system by assigning full-time doctors and collaborating with external medical institutions to prevent recurrence.
In addition, the background of this problem is that foreigners who have been ordered to leave the country due to illegal stay refuse to return to Japan and have been detained at the facility for a long time. I would like to pass an amendment to the Immigration Control and Refuge Act, which allows people to live with relatives, etc., at an early stage.
However, since the amendment was postponed due to the opposition party's distrust of the immigration bureau over this issue in the previous ordinary session of the Diet, measures to prevent recurrence were steadily implemented. The issue is whether we can restore trust.
