Statistics
June 20 is World Refugee Day. There are an estimated 65 million refugees worldwide.
Canada, with a population roughly 1/4 of Japan's, has accepted 40,000 Syrians alone since the fall of November 2015.
Japan however continues to be extremely unwelcoming to refugees.
In 2016, a record 10,901 would be refugees applied for asylum last year in Japan. That was an increase of 3,315 on the previous year. Of the applicants, 28 were accepted.
