Urgent Human Rights Issue:
A new law is about to be passed in Japan, allowing the government to revoke the permanent residency of foreigners for minor infractions.
Japanese nationality is determined by jus sanguinis (right of blood), so children born and raised in Japan are considered foreigners if their parents are not Japanese citizens. Even those fully integrated into Japanese society could be deported due to a minor infraction or false accusation.
Minor infractions might include not carrying a residence card. Given the history of racial profiling by Japanese police, malicious actions against these residents are likely.
This law also affects those who have obtained permanent residency through their own efforts or by marrying Japanese citizens. Stripping away their lives is a human rights violation. If you care about human rights, please sign the petition.

Urgent Action Needed:
Despite continuous opposition from minority parties, it is expected that this law will be forcibly passed as early as today. It’s already 6 AM in Japan, so we might have less than 12 hours left.
To everyone who has signed the petition, thank you. Unfortunately, we might not have enough time to submit the signatures.
Please, take a moment to email your country’s embassy in Japan about this urgent issue. A simple and straightforward message is enough. Express your concern about the impending law that would make it easier to revoke permanent residency for foreigners in Japan. Let them know about the situation and encourage them to take action.
Your voice can make a difference. Thank you for your support.

I repeat, this is a human rights issue.
Not only could foreigners who have worked hard to obtain permanent residency or those married to Japanese citizens be deported, but even children born and raised in Japan to foreign parents could be sent out of the country.

Unfortunately, it appears that the law has been passed.
Your actions so far and in the future may affect the operation of the law and the decision on the constitutionality of this law in a court case that will happen someday.
So the action is meaningful. Thank you very much.
