Asylum-seeking Myanmar soccer goalie granted refugee status in Japan

@Kentarogaijin

You seem to be playing Devil’s advocate or you really are extremely insular?

Thumbs up for allowing him to stay in Japan. There are much more Japanese immigrants in Myanmar then vice versa.

He's the one person who'll be granted refugee status this year...

What, you mean he's filled up the quota?

Yeah, this and the handling of the Belarus athlete in front of the eyes of the world. I'm not fooled one bit.

Yeah sure,they gave it to her just because she did that in front of the whole world in front of an international stage.

We all know that our LDP old boys want to look good by the cover.

Extremely rare, but very good news.

Good for him. And good for Japan for recognizing that he would be at risk of execution from the murderous and illegitimate military ruling junta.

Hopefully Pyae Lyan keeps up his soccer. He will be eligible to represent Japan in 4 years.

Good for him! Good action by Japan! - Welcome!! And now, Do Your BEST !!

Let's throw a party !!!
