}}{{nihongo|Keiko Chiba|千葉 景子|Chiba Keiko|extra=born 11 May 1948}} is the former justice minister of Japan.

Former career

After graduating from Chuo University in 1971, where she studied law, she became a lawyer in 1982. She belongs to the Yokohama Bar Association. As a lawyer, she was involved in a lawsuit filed by local residents over noise pollution caused by jets taking off and landing at the U.S. Naval Air Facility Atsugi in Kanagawa Prefecture.[1] She also worked to protect the rights of women and seniors.[2]

Political career

Throughout her activity as lawyer, Chiba developed a relationship with Japan Socialist Party. In 1986 she was nominated as the official candidate of the party and elected to the House of Councillors for the first time. She held executive posts in the Japan Socialist Party and in its successor the Social Democratic Party, but she left the party to the Democratic Party of Japan in January 1997. Nevertheless, she strengthened her footing with continuous support by All-Japan Prefectural and Municipal Workers Union (JICHIRO) and Japanese Trade Union Confederation and took charge of the Director General of a parliament group supporting Amnesty International.[3]

At the 20th House of Councillors election Chiba ran for the Diet representing Kanagawa and was elected to the House of Councillors for the fourth time. In the course of election canvassing, two executives of the Kawasaki Municipal Transportation Workers Union were arrested because of their involvement in soliciting votes for Chiba for cash payment.[4] Both executives were sentenced to 1.5 years imprisonment with 5 years suspension execution. In the Next Cabinet Chiba served as Minister of State for Gender Equiality and as Minister of Justice.

After the 45th general election, she was appointed Minister of Justice in Yukio Hatoyama's cabinet on 16 September 2009. On 9 October 2009 Chiba granted special permission to two Chinese sisters who lost a lawsuit against a government deportation order.[5] She later enacted legislation to abolish the statute of limitations for murder and robbery-murder.[6]

She is a prominent member of various anti-death penalty organizations in Japan, and many legal analysts{{Who|date=September 2009}} criticized Chiba's appointment because of her position on the death penalty issue; in spite of this she signed orders for two executions which were carried out on 28 July 2010. Chiba also expressed her intention to try to give "warm treatment" to illegal immigrants in Japan,[7] and she has also reportedly said that all illegal immigrants in Japan should be allowed to stay in Japan without any legal documentation.{{Citation needed|date=September 2009}}

Chiba was reappointed as justice minister in the cabinet of Prime Minister Naoto Kan in June 2010.[8]

Chiba lost her seat in the House of Councillors on 11 July 2010, but Prime Minister Naoto Kan had kept her as the Minister of Justice until September. Her successor to the position was Minoru Yanagida, who was appointed by Prime Minister Kan.

During a meeting of the Budget Committee of the Lower house of the Diet held on 5 November 2009, Tomomi Inada confronted Chiba on the petition issue and Chiba replied to Inada that she had not realized that the list of the release petition included a criminal like Sin Gwang-su.
