“My life is in danger when winter comes” Asylum seekers endure in parks What is human dignity?
Homeless refugees at the scene (5)
“This is my bed. Unchanged. These last five months.” “I’m sure there are many people who have been to the hospital,” said Jose (not his real name), an asylum seeker from Africa, as he pointed to several pieces of cardboard placed on the ground in a park in Tokyo in November. I met Jose at this park in June. Afterwards, we went to eat and listened to conversations in the park. He applied for protection funds, the only public assistance available to refugee applicants, but his application was unsuccessful, and he ended up living on the streets for five months. Private support groups are financially stretched thin when it comes to supporting pregnant women, children, and the sick, so it’s difficult for them to reach Josee, who is in her 30s and has no chronic illnesses.

I’m pretty sure if you agree to deportation they’ll essentially let you go back for free.

So build a refugee camp. All you need to do is give them a roof over their head and food.
It’s ridiculous that refugees expect anything more than that.
And it’s ridiculous that they can walk freely around Japan.

If you’re in your 30s and have no chronic illnesses, there should be plenty of ways to make money.

Is the park a place to live?

It would be better to support their country through ODA and send them back rather than just doing it to individuals.

Maybe we should hide him in the Asahi Shimbun building.

Japanese refugee applicants have no need for human dignity.

They’re not refugees, they’re illegal immigrants. That’s the correct term.

If I did the same thing back in my home country, I would be in danger, so I’m just glad that Japan has good security…or rather, I think they do it because of the good security there.

They couldn’t send it back and it just piled up and couldn’t be stored anymore, and you guys pushed for it.

If you go to an Asahi employee’s house, they’ll let you stay there. Surely they wouldn’t make a request to someone else and then refuse?
