SAGAMIHARA – A municipal government deliberation council on Jan. 31 largely agreed on a draft report on a human rights ordinance, including proposals on penalties over hate speech.
The draft report compiled by the city’s human rights policy council will include two proposals on penalties on hate speech: one that imposes an administrative fine for malicious acts, and the other in which a criminal penalty or an administrative fine will be imposed for such acts. The council will later meet again to go over the details and propose the final report to the Sagamihara Municipal Government.
