Stop war...



The Anti-War Joint Action Committee held a rally against the Iraq war in Tokyo on November 6, 2005. The many protests have perhaps not be widely reported outside of Japan. I wonder why?

This time, 4600 workers gathered in Hibiya Outdoor Large Music Hall, and staged "National Workers Rally". As representative of Labor union, 22 workers from Korea and 14 workers from U.S. also participated.

Some famous protests in Japan's history include Shimabara rebellion (1637-38), Saigo Takamori's uprising against the Meiji emperor (1877), mass demonstrations against the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty (1960), as well as numerous anti-nuclear campaigns.
