It is a fact that I and most Japanese people are learning for the first time.

The following is from Masayuki Takayama’s column in Shukan Shincho, published yesterday.
This article also proves that he is the one and only journalist in the postwar world.
It is a fact that I and most Japanese people know for the first time.
The truth of what was reported on TV was such an appalling reality.
What the mass media and so-called human rights organizations have done so far is unforgivable.
They are the “Unforgivable Ones.”
It is a must-read not only for the people of Japan but for people all over the world.

DV Refugees
Uishma Sandamali from Sri Lanka came to Japan four years ago on a student visa.　
She had planned to learn Japanese and eventually teach English at a Japanese junior high school.　
However, it takes effort to realize a dream.
She lost sight of this and eventually stopped attending the language school where she studied.　
She began living with a man from her hometown whom she had met.　
The school gave her a six-month reprieve, but she continued to skip school, so they expelled her.　
She would have to stay in Japan illegally if her student visa expired.
She hurriedly applied for refugee status.　
She was not going to be approved for such a thing.
Her application was rejected six months later, and she lost her residence status.　
If this were the United States, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would immediately order her to appear and use its police powers to track her whereabouts.　
The DHS was established in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks by al-Qaeda to ensure thorough immigration control and is similar to the authority of the former Ministry of Home Affairs in Japan.　
However, the current Immigration Bureau does not have that power.
Last summer, after two years had passed with no way to track her whereabouts, Uishma rushed to the police in Shizuoka Prefecture to seek protection.　
Her live-in partner “almost killed her due to domestic violence” and “I want to return to my country as soon as possible.　
She is in the country illegally.
She should jump on a plane to Sri Lanka.　
But she has only $20 on her person. 
Her parents would not give her any money, either.　
She would then have to go to the immigration detention center in Nagoya and wait for deportation, where she would be sent back with the government’s money.　
According to the New York Times, a letter was delivered there from the DV man.　
It is unknown how the man knew where she was or why he felt compelled to write her a letter.　
At that time, a refugee human rights group of well-meaning people visited her frequently.　
It is also unknown if they had any contact with the DV man, but the letter said, “You tipped off the Japanese police, and they hurt you badly. I will get even with you when I come back to my country.
The human rights group said she had good refugee status because “her life would be in danger if she returned home.”　
She, too, reversed her decision to return home and applied for refugee status.
But is domestic violence abuse a reason to apply for refugee status?
Besides, a “good person” is a requirement for refugee status.　
In her case, she played around without studying and then complained that she wanted to return home or stay in Japan.
Her selfishness is the only thing that stands out to me.　
However, if she applies for refugee status, she will not be deported during that time under the current law.　
Even if your application is rejected, you will not be deported as long as you continue to reapply.
You can stay in Japan forever.　
Currently, there are 3,100 such repeat applicants, 80% of whom have been released on provisional release due to illness or other reasons.　
They can enjoy their lives outside the prison walls.
Some of them, such as 580 ex-convicts caught for rape and manslaughter, continue to demand safe residence in Japan.　
Uisma, perhaps on the advice of human rights groups, also complained of physical problems and wanted to enter an outside hospital when she submitted her application for refugee status.
It is a clever move to exploit a hole in the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act.　
The immigration bureau asked for a doctor’s diagnosis and ruled that she did not need to be hospitalized, but she refused to take the prescribed medication, and her condition worsened.
She was taken to the hospital but died.　
The human rights group, which had been trying to get in her way all along, waited until this happened and brought her two sisters from Sri Lanka to meet with Minister of Justice Kamikawa.　
It led to the abolition of the amendment to the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act.　
If they had the money to bring her two sisters, they should have paid for Uishma’s flight from the beginning.　
The domestic violence man could have just told the local police.　
Why didn’t the human rights groups take such humanitarian considerations into account? 
Did they think that if she died, there would be a political situation?
Another question is why the Japanese newspapers did not write a single line about her problematic behavior, which even U.S. newspapers reported in detail.　
Japan does not go well with Sri Lankans, as it did with Coomaraswamy, who perpetuated the comfort women lie, and now with this.
