Ex-director sues Amnesty Japan for firing him over Japanese ability
A former executive director of Amnesty International Japan has sued the human rights organization for 5 million yen ($47,500), claiming unfair dismissal after he was diagnosed with depression that stemmed from being forced to give reports in Japanese, sources familiar with the case said Tuesday.
According to the complaint filed with the Tokyo District Court, Taro O Sullivan said the organization hired him with the knowledge that he could speak Japanese at a conversational level but could barely read or write it.

Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga

Re: National Law Needed by 2020 Tokyo Olympics to Protect against Discrimination Based on Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity
Dear Prime Minister Suga,
The undersigned 116 organizations urge you, in advance of the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games, to introduce legislation that would protect people in Japan from discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
The Olympic Charter expressly bans “discrimination of any kind” including on the grounds of sexual orientation as a “Fundamental Principle of Olympism.” Japan has also ratified core international human rights treaties that obligate the government to protect against discrimination, including the International Covenants on Civil and Political Rights and on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
