Japan’s main opposition party will propose a bill that regulates hate speech against ethnic minorities.
Japan’s Kyodo News Agency said Wednesday that the Democratic Party of Japan will submit the bill in June during an ordinary session of the Diet.
The bill aims to ban unreasonable acts based on racial discrimination but would not stipulate punishments.
The bill will also likely call for the establishment of a committee within the Cabinet Office that would probe hate speech activities and enable the committee to give input to the prime minister.
