Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi announced plans to criminalize damage to the national flag, saying offenders will be punished and framing the measure as necessary to protect Japan’s honor. The proposal follows an October 2025 bill from the Sanseito party and a coalition agreement to introduce a new offence during the 2026 Diet session. Draft penalties include up to two years’ imprisonment or fines (about ¥200,000). Rights groups and critics warn the law would curb free expression and could conflict with international rights commitments. The move has provoked widespread domestic debate and some international concern over Japan’s shifting political course. (monitor.civicus.org)
