As a general rule, the law limits the suspension of forced deportation to two countries while applying for refugee status. On the same day, the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, the Japanese Communist Party, and the Reiwa Shinsengumi made their confrontational stance clear by jointly submitting a counter-proposal to the House of Councillors aimed at protecting refugees.
The revision of the law aims to eliminate the long-term detention in immigration facilities of foreigners who refuse to be deported to their home countries even if they are ordered to deport for illegal stays. From the third time they apply for refugee status, they will be able to be deported if they do not show “reasonable grounds for recognition of refugee status.” In addition, residents of conflict areas are permitted to stay as “persons subject to supplementary protection” equivalent to refugees. Ukrainian refugees are assumed.
In order to prevent long-term detention, “supervision measures” are established, and life in society is permitted under the supervision of supporters. While in detention, the need will be reviewed every three months, but there is no upper limit to the period. Acts such as refusing to be deported and acting violently on the aircraft will be subject to criminal penalties.
