	APM - Divided Lives
		In 1930, for example, the Minister for Colonial Development, on an official tour of Karafuto, was met at one village by a delegation of Ainu, and presented with a petition demanding full civil rights.
		Although the military had been willing to overlook fine distinctions of citizenship status in their recruitment procedures, the Nivkh and Uilta who hoped to find refuge in Japan soon discovered that they were ineligible for evacuation, because they lacked the all-important family registration documents which separated fully-fledged Japanese citizens from "native" colonial subjects.
		Out of Karafuto's total Uilta and Nivkh population of about 400, more than 50 are known to have died during the war or from the effects of life in the labour camps.

	Japan
		Although the colonization process was far from complete, by the second decade of the 20th century Karafuto was firmly Japanese.
		In places as varied as the rural agricultural communities of Kyûshû and north Honshu, the Kansai plain megalopolis, and the suburban cities of Hokkaidô and Karafuto, ordinary Japanese were left to cope with the inhabitants of the strange new Vietnamese, Madurese, and Ilocano neighbourhoods that now dotted their homelands.
		Although this flood of immigrants was responsible for the recovery of the Japanese population to 126 million people by 1990, the strange customs and odd languages of the immigrants made them subjects of abuse.

	RUSSIA: Another Two Catholic Priests Denied Entry.
		The Russian authorities were notified in writing about the Catholic Church's decision to re-name its Karafuto prefecture "South Sakhalin" during the week prior to 23 April, a senior Vatican official told Keston News Service on that date (see KNS 24 April 2002).
		This was "an unfriendly act and interference in the internal affairs of Russian Federation," according to the statement, and the ministry viewed explanations for it given to the press by a Catholic parish priest to be "unconvincing and insufficient." Bishop Mazur was denied entry to Russia on 19 April.
		Speaking to Keston by telephone from South Sakhalin on 11 September, Catholic parish priest Emil Dumas said that Fr Wisniewski had expected to be refused entry to Russia, having been told not to return prior to his departure.
