In Japan, a hunger strike to denounce the problem of shared custody for binational couples

French president Macron is expected in #Tokyo on Friday for a 36-hour visit during which he will attend the opening of the Summer Olympics and meet Japanese leaders.

He also intends to discuss the sensitive issue of conflicts between Japanese and French parents over the custody of their children, illustrated by the #hungerstrike led near Tokyo Olympic stadium since 10 July by #VincentFichot, a Frenchman living in Japan who has been prevented from seeing his children since their abduction by their Japanese mother in 2018. France's 24 team meets him.
