A court in Japan granted citizenship to an Afghanian baby who was born in that country.
According to the report of the Kyodo news agency of Japan, reported on this case and said that the parents of this baby immigrated to Japan in 2022.
This is the first time that the Japanese court has issued a ruling to grant citizenship to an Afghanian baby, and this decision by the Japanese court has no precedent.
According to Japanese law, refugee children are granted citizenship when they were born in Japan or their parents immigrated from a place whose legal status is unknown.
According to the Kyodo news agency, after the return of the Taliban group to power in Afghanistan in August 2021, Japan only issued immigration visas to 9 Afghanians, but over time this number increased and reached 237 people in 2023.
