The Plight of Asylum Seekers and Refugees in Japan: The Present (Part 2)
Thank you for listening to this episode of Rentaikan, the official podcast of Amnesty International Nagoya Multicultural Group. Our deepest apologies for the delays involved in releasing this episode, but thankfully we finally managed to get this uploaded. Also, despite the show intro saying we are still provisional, we transitioned into official group status some months ago!
*TRIGGER WARNING* Discussions concerning attempted suicide
This episode is the second in a three part series concerning the situation regarding refugees in Japan. In this episode, we interview Naoya Kawaguchi, an attorney, a director of Door to Asylum Nagoya, the director general of the Nagoya Lawyers' Network for Refugees, and a member of the Japan Federation of Bar Associations' Civil Liberties Commission to discuss the difference between de jure regulations and de facto treatment asylum seekers and refugees receive in Japan, the non-legal barriers put in front of them besides those related to definitions put forth in international treaties, and the role that provisional release and mandatory detention play in discouraging asylum seekers.
For those who would like to know more about Mr. Kawaguchi's work, you can access his profile here (Japanese only)

The Plight of Asylum Seekers and Refugees in Japan: The Past (Part 1)
Thank you for listening to this episode of Rentaikan, the official podcast of Amnesty International Nagoya Multicultural Group (Provisional).
This episode is the first in a three part series concerning the situation regarding refugees in Japan. In this episode, we sat down with Dr. Naoko Hashimoto, an Associate Professor who lectures on global issues that include those related to refugees and migration in both English and in Japanese at the Graduate School of Social Sciences, at Hitotsubashi University in Tokyo. We talked about the history and processes surrounding asylum applications in Japan, why Japan has a low acceptance rate compared to other nations and whether focusing on rates is productive as an advocacy tool, as well as what her take was concerning how the system could be reformed.
For those who would like to know about Dr. Hashimoto's work, you can access her ResearchMap profile here.
