|
* June - July 1993 *
|
|
|
|
|
|
***** 9th June / Tokyo, Kyoto ****************************************
|
|
The wedding ceremony of "Prince Naruhito". The Japanese state made a
|
|
campaign to force people to celebrate this wedding and the imperial
|
|
family. Many actions were undertaken by anarchists, communists and
|
|
citizen groups. There was a demo in metropole Tokyo. In Kyoto, radical
|
|
students occupied University campuses, held self-lectures, and took
|
|
direct action to hinder the institutional hoisting of the so called
|
|
"National Flag" (Hino-Maru). That afternoon, anarchists and radicals
|
|
joined a meeting organized by a women's group and held a rally. The march
|
|
went through the main streets of town. "BETTER DEAD THAN WED!!!"
|
|
|
|
|
|
***** 6-15th June / Kyoto ********************************************
|
|
Demonstrations against "U.S.-Japan Security Treaty". Radical students
|
|
(including anarchist students) held a 10km rally. They met another demo
|
|
and meeting organized by citizen groups. Riot police reacted violently,
|
|
but people linked arms giving no opportunity for cops to make arrests.
|
|
|
|
***** 4-11th July /Tokyo, Kyoto, etc. *********************************
|
|
Actions against the G-7 Tokyo summit at many places:
|
|

|
|
rally at the city which was under heavy police guard.
|
|
-Kyoto; A rally organized by citizen and leftist groups.
|
|
-Osaka; Activists held the "People's Counter-Summit."
|
|
|
|
***** 11th July / Tokyo ***********************************************
|
|
Protest rally and meeting against racism. The Tokyo city government
|
|
and the police closed Totoki Park which many foreigners, mainly Iranians
|
|
were using and arrested them for "illegal staying." Most of them were
|
|
deported. The demo started from Shibuya. Punk music was heard from the
|
|
megaphone protected by the anarco-punks' "hard-core bloc." Although cops
|
|
tried to prevent people from joining they could do nothing against the
|
|
hundreds of foreigners who gathered and filled up the square in front of
|
|
Harajuka station where the march reached. People chanted "Police Go
|
|
Home! Smash Fascism!" By-passing foreigners made speech and condemned
|
|
the racist policy of the Japanese state.
|
|
|
|
****** 17 -18th July / Kyoto *******************************************
|
|
Regional activists from the anti-Emperor movement gathered to discuss
|
|
the further direction of struggle.
