• Activists will hold a protest outside the House of Representatives building in Tokyo from 18:30-19:30 (local time) on February 24.
• They will primarily denounce the Anti-Espionage Act and the National Intelligence Agency Bill being pushed by the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP)-Japan Innovation Party (JIP) government.   
• Activists will also hold a rally outside the Ministry of Justice building in Tokyo from 14:00-15:00 on February 25.  
• The protesters will denounce the government’s proposed changes to Japan’s Retrial Law and call for amendments led by the National Diet rather than the Ministry of Justice. 

The turnout at both protests is likely to range in the mid-to-high dozens, given resonance against the government’s abovementioned legislation. As per the standard security procedures, the authorities are liable to bolster the security measures in the vicinity of the aforementioned locations. These measures will include the deployment of barricades and police personnel to monitor the protest proceedings. The protests will likely transpire peacefully, considering the general nature of protests observed in Tokyo. Localized vehicular and pedestrian traffic disruptions are expected in the vicinity of the aforementioned locations during the slated protest hours on February 24 and 25 due to the anticipated turnout and associated security measures.

Those operating or residing in Tokyo on February 24-25 are advised to allot for disruptions in the vicinity of the aforementioned locations due to the slated demonstrations.
