The International Migrants Alliance-Asia Pacific (IMA-AP), expresses deep alarm at the rising tide of far-right politics in Japan, marked by growing xenophobia, ultra-nationalism, and increasingly exclusionary rhetoric targeting migrants and foreign residents. This trend poses a serious threat to democracy and human rights in the country.

International Migrants Alliance Asia Pacific protest the recent move of the Malaysian and Bangladeshi governments to recruit new migrant workers amidst gross, chronic exploitation and neglect of Bangladeshi migrant workers in Malaysia. For years, Bangladeshi migrants in Malaysia have endured systemic abuse, with both governments showing no genuine effort to address the injustice. This ongoing failure has only served to embolden trafficking networks, corrupt agencies, and government-backed syndicates.
