Japan's immigration authorities have denied a German anti- globalization activist entry to Japan at a port in Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaido, where security checks have been tightened ahead of July's Group of Eight summit, his supporters said Friday.
Martin Kraemer, 37, left a port in Russia aboard a freighter March 7 and arrived at Otaru port, some 30 kilometers west of Hokkaido's capital Sapporo, on Monday.
Kraemer was scheduled to attend an anti-summit rally in Sapporo on Saturday, they said.
The Japanese Justice Ministry's Sapporo Regional Immigration Bureau has refused to confirm the incident, saying that it does not comment on specific cases.
