Japan: Activists to rally outside the House of Representatives building in Tokyo from 18:30 March 19
Activists to hold monthly rally near House of Representatives building in Tokyo, Japan, from 18:30 March 19. Increased security likely.
Activists will rally outside the House of Representatives building in Chiyoda, Tokyo, 18:30 March 19. The action is one in a series of monthly gatherings to support the continuation of a constitutional article that renounces war. A few dozen people are likely to attend the gathering, which will almost certainly pass off peacefully.
Authorities will probably monitor the gathering and may move to disperse the participants if they become unruly. Minor isolated skirmishes between demonstrators and police cannot be ruled out. Associated localized transport disruptions are possible if activists march on or block nearby roads.
Exercise caution near the demonstration site. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Allow additional time to reach destinations near the gathering. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
