#Japan Lawmakers and Scholars demands the release of Hong Kong's young pro-democracy activists
The Japan Parliamentary Alliance on China (JPAC), a Japanese cross-party organization formed by the members of the congress, held a press conference on Nov 30, 2020 at the House of Representatives of Japan to respond to the Hong Kong government's jailing of Joshua Wong, Agnes Chow, and Ivan Lam.
Several scholars spoke at the event, including Professor Suzuki Ken of Meiji University. Ken said that Agnes Chow has been speaking to the world through Japan. In order to rescue Chow, the Japanese civil society and the political sector must take action.
In addition, Chow had earlier been invited as a researcher to Hokkaido University, Professor Ken Endo expressed that the arrest was broadly equivalent to the arrest of a fellow colleague. He asked the Hong Kong government for her release and demands the Japanese government to respond to the incident.
JPAC mentioned that Agnes Chow and the others represent the young people in their fight for freedom and democracy, yet they were suppressed and investigated under Hong Kong’s National Security Law. He said “Why should those who call on the public to participate in peaceful protest be condemned? Will Hong Kong become a repressive state without freedom and hope if this continues? Won’t the hopes of young people and citizens be trampled?” JPAC requests Hong Kong’s neighbouring countries to join in protest against the suppression and demanded the prompt release of the three activists.
The press conference was co-organized by JPAC and a new organization called PomeLo (Project on meeting local parliamentary alliance for Hong Kong).
#PomeLo was formed by 22 members of the Japanese city and district council and is represented by Endo Chihiro and Yuko Nagumo. The goal was to create opportunities for direct dialogue between the people of Japan and Hong Kong, so that the Japanese society can better understand the thoughts and demands of Hong Kong people.

#JPAC calls for Japanese government to enact legislation for Human Rights #sanction
An inter-parliamentary group, Japan Parliamentary Alliance on China (JPAC) issued a statement on March 18, 2021 in which it condemned the China's General Assembly of the People's Congress for forcing changes to the electoral system in Hong Kong and charging 47 democrats with National Security breaches.
The alliance urged the Japanese Government to enact Human Rights Violations Sanctions Act as soon as possible and offer protection for Hongkongers facing oppression through immigration means.
The Alliance criticized the Chinese Communist Party’s (#CCP) amendments of Hong Kong’s electoral system as an act that deprives the democrat’s right to vote, aiming to weaken the development of democracy in Hong Kong.
JPAC further denounced that the CCP has blatantly violated the principle of One Country Two Systems as promised in the Sino-British Joint Declaration .
The statement also mentioned the Hong Kong authorities' arrest of 47 democrats for charges of “conspiracy to subverting state power”. It also reiterated that almost all known democratic political figures in Hong Kong have been arrested, jailed or forced to exile.
The JPAC strongly protested the arrests and called for the early release of the arrested persons.
