Pro-Immigrant Organization to Hold a Festival near the Shinagawa Immigration

This is such a short notice, but SYI, a pro-immigrant organization based in Tokyo, will hold a festival at Shinagawa Kita Futo Koen (品川北ふ頭公園), which is located near the infamous detention center, starting 6 p.m. on Monday, August 23. They will protest against the inhumane treatment of the detainees and Japan's unjust immigration policies in general, while singing, dancing, and drinking, in addition to trying to send a message of solidarity to the detainees by creating letters with candles. 






To get there, you can take a bus (品99) at the East Exit terminal of the Shinagawa Station.
