As the worst
refugee crisis since World War Two forces Europe to break down hurdles
and accept hundreds of thousands of migrants, Japan, which took in just
11 asylum seekers last year, is looking to clamp down even further.
Measures
including deporting failed applicants, curbs on repeat applications and
pre-screening of new asylum seekers are being considered as part of
changes to the country's immigration system, an official said on
Wednesday.
If implemented, the
changes would make Japan an even harder-to-reach destination, activists
say. The country is already one of the developed world's least welcoming
countries for refugees, accepting 11 of a record 5,000 asylum seekers
in 2014."
