#Immigration #Japan #LawUpdate
A recent revision to Japan’s immigration control law, implemented in June, has brought about significant changes to the system. One of the key additions is the introduction of a new “supervisory” measure aimed at addressing the issue of prolonged detention faced by individuals in immigration facilities.
The new measure is designed to provide a more humane and effective alternative to long-term detention. It allows for individuals to be placed under supervision in the community, rather than being held in detention centers indefinitely. This approach aims to strike a balance between ensuring compliance with immigration regulations and respecting the rights and dignity of individuals awaiting immigration decisions.
Ramesh Khatri, a representative of Kansai Nepal News, views this development as a positive step towards improving the treatment of immigrants in Japan. He believes that the introduction of the supervisory measure demonstrates a commitment to upholding human rights and addressing the challenges faced by individuals in immigration proceedings. Khatri emphasizes the importance of balancing security concerns with the need for compassion and fairness in immigration policies.
