Japan: Unionized workers to stage rally from Hibiya Park Concert Hall, Tokyo, at 15:00 Nov. 3
Workers' rally planned at Hibiya Park Concert Hall, Tokyo, Japan, 15:00 Nov. 3. Increased security likely; transport disruptions possible.
Unionized workers plan to stage a rally from the Hibiya Park Concert Hall in Tokyo's Kasumigaseki District from 15:00 Nov. 3. Participants have several demands relating to worker rights and anti-war activism. Organizers claim 10,000 people will participate but have not confirmed details of the march route. Actual attendance will likely be lower and involve up to a few thousand people.
Police will likely deploy to monitor the demonstration. Localized transport disruptions may affect the march route. Isolated scuffles between police and activists are possible, especially if demonstrators attempt to breach security cordons of nearby government buildings such as the National Diet Building.
Exercise caution around the march route. Take alternative routes to minimize travel delays. Heed all official security and transport advisories. Leave the area at the first sign of a security disturbance.
