A member of Arrupe Refugee Center was interviewed, and the article was published in the evening edition of the Nihon Keizai Shimbun on Monday, April 19.
The interviewee was Ms. Mundele from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
In the interview, she talks about the difficulties of living in Japan while applying for refugee status.
“Many refugee claimants are unable to show their faces and appear in the media for fear of persecution, so if I can show my face and be interviewed in this way and have many Japanese people read the articles, everyone will be happy, and I will be happy to be of service to everyone.”
Ms. Mundele was happy and satisfied, holding the completed article in both hands.
There is also a video version of the news available on the Internet.
