Japan: Abe's efforts to revise pacifist constitution encounter mass protest

The effort of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to emasculate and revise the country's war-renouncing constitution encountered a mass protest on Sunday, the country's 68th Constitution Memorial Day, when he returned from the United States with the updated bilateral defense guidelines that will result in unconstitutional revision of security-related legislation.

Thousands of demonstrators from across the country took to the streets in Yokohama, a southern port city, protesting against the prime minister's dangerous politics. They held banners that read "Firmly oppose destruction of the constitution," "No Abe administration," "Crush the ultra-right regime" and "Protect the pacifist constitution."
