TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan is to fingerprint and photograph foreigners entering the country from next month in an anti-terrorism policy that is stirring anger among foreign residents and human rights activists.
Anyone considered to be a terrorist — or refusing to cooperate — will be denied entry and deported.

“Making only foreigners provide this data is discriminatory,” said Sonoko Kawakami of Amnesty’s Japan office. “They are saying ‘terrorist equals foreigner’. It’s an exclusionary policy that could encourage xenophobia.”

Well, I shouldn’t say I didn’t expected this, since I made a paper on xenophobia for college this past summer and well…
Japan is one of the countries with more xenophobia cases in the world. They are very patriotic, and even though there’s a lot of good Japanese people around, well, some of them tend to make some harsh decisions. I mean this fingerprinting movement eeeh, if you ask me is quite over the line. I mean I know there is a difference between the message and how people interpret it but heck, this one is quite direct. I dont think a lot of people will be happy with this, and yes is quite a hit for the foreigners who live and want to go or are visiting Japan and a big hit to liberty overall.

I just hope this doesnt get any worse. Im not writting this for those interested in Japan to start hating it, I just think is a very good piece of information and it should be analyzed.

Ja ne.
