Young Japanese stage nationwide
protests against security bills being debated in Upper House
Thousands of young people rallied
Sunday throughout Japan,
protesting the security bills that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe wants to pass
during the current Diet session.
Demonstrations and gatherings
took place at more than 60 locations around Japan
— in Hokkaido, Aichi, Osaka,
Fukuoka and
other prefectures — in response to a call by a group called Students Emergency
Action for Liberal Democracy, or SEALDs.
The bills are now under
deliberation at the Upper House, after being railroaded through the Lower House
by the ruling coalition, sparking public opposition. The bills would
significantly expand the scope of Self-Defense Forces missions overseas.
In Tokyo, about 6,500 protesters gathered to
march toward the popular Shibuya shopping and entertainment district, chanting
slogans such as “No War” and “No Change in the Law.”

To every Egyptian who has a speck of dignity
and an ounce of pride; Egyptians whose boys are being tortured
and girls raped in prisons and detentions,
Al-Mutanabbi, the famous poet, said about you in similar circumstances,
"Do you think the peack of knowledge is the trimming of your mustaches
O nation, at whose ignorance all other nations laughed"
Al-Mutanabbi also said,
"Do not buy a slave unless along with him you have bout a stick
slaves are verily filthy miserables"
Let me ask you, are you any less than those Japanese?
Is your history any less glorious?
Is there any brave men left among you?
Have you become slaves?
Have you totally scummed to the criminal ruling junta?
WA-WATANAH!, WA-ISLAMAH!, WA-KIRAMATAH!, WA-IRADHAH!
Wake up from your slumber!
"There is a door for the red revolution
That is knocked only by the hand stained with blood"
Abul-Kassim El-Shabbi
