MAEBASHI -- With a bill to revise the Japanese immigration law being deliberated in the Diet, a growing number of people in Gunma Prefecture who would be affected by the possible change are calling for it to be stopped.
"If I go back, I'll be killed. I'm scared," said a Myanmar man in his 40s, who has participated in many demonstrations against the military regime in his home country. He fears that the military "has a list of protesters" and claims that his life would be in danger if he returns home.
