\nAssemble on July 2 (Thu), 12:00 – 13:00
\nDiscussion is not enough!
\nWe won’t accept the reforms to the Immigration Law or the Basic Resident
\nRegistration Law!<\/p>\n

LISTEN TO US!<\/p>\n

Date\/time: July 2 (Thu) 12:00 – 13:00
\nPlace: Upper House Diet members office building
\n (A gate pass will be provided at the entrance.)
\nOrganizer: NGO Executive Committee to say NO to the new residency
\n(zairyu) card system
\nProgramme: – Comments by asylum seekers, foreign nationals
\n – Comments from diet members, etc.<\/p>\n

On June 19, three reform bills — the Basic Resident Registration Law,
\nthe Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act, and the Special Law
\non Immigration Control — were passed in the Lower House of the Diet,
\nwith alterations.<\/p>\n

These reform bills are supposed to improve convenience for foreign
\nnationals who reside in Japan legally. In fact, they diminish
\nforeigners’ rights and impose stricter controls on them, for example by
\nincreasing the fine for failing to notify officials of any changes to
\npersonal details. Also, once these reform bills are passed in the Upper
\nHouse and become law, it would connect governmental systems, immigration
\ncontrol, and municipal systems for residents registration. Thus it would
\nundermine municipal autonomy. Moreover, as the new Basic Resident
\nRegistraion Law will not register undocumented people and asylum
\nseekers, they will become “invisible”.<\/p>\n

Despite the serious impact these reform bills will have on foreign
\nnationals , they have not been fully discussed. The Diet has never asked
\nfor the opinions of foreign nationals. We consider that is a big
\nproblem. Almost no official information has been provided to foreign
\nnationals even now.<\/p>\n

We will hold the 6th assembly in the Diet Member Building in order to
\nlisten to views of foreign nationals who have not yet been consulted.<\/p>\n
