An unprecedented number of people participated in the Human Chain Action to
Stop War Legislation in the afternoon of June 14. The huge crowd flooding out
from the exits of three subway stations near the Diet were mostly composed of
middle-aged and older people, but youths and families were also found. ”Prime
Minister Abe is so terrible that I couldn’t help but coming to do something,”
said a woman with a sign saying “Don’t destroy the country, PM Abe!” in her
hands. In the rally held in front of the main gate, speakers expressed their anger
at the administration’s explanation and answers to questions in the
parliamentary debate over the collective self defense right. Among them was a
university student from Okinawa. ”The society will change if we, the young,
speak out. I am determined to defend the article 9 of the constitution. I will
never allow them to build a new U.S. military base in Henoko. Let’s change the
society of this country together!” Her speech was received with a thunderous
applause. All the people taking part in the action were able to hear the
speeches made in front of the main gate, thanks to the 57 amplifiers that the
organizer placed around the Diet building. “No war legislation!””Resign, Abe!”
Some 25000 participants chanted together bearing the same desire in mind. （by M）
