I think the strategy of merely shouting one\u2019s opinions at the top of one\u2019s lungs is not so fundamentally different from an act of terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a speech Sunday in Toyama Prefecture, Ishiba maintained his criticism of the rallies being held outside the prime minister\u2019s office. More than 1,000 people gathered there last Tuesday when the ruling coalition rammed the state secrets bill through the Lower House.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is doubtful if it is in line with democracy to appeal in a threatening manner that \u2018We will never accept it,\u2019 \u201d Ishiba said in his speech.<\/p>\n<p>But he backtracked on likening the demonstrations to terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI retract that part as the demonstration does not fulfill all of the conditions necessary to constitute terrorism,\u201d Ishiba told reporters after the speech. \u201cI see the loud noise as a problem. . . . Demonstrations in general should be welcomed as long as they follow democratic rules, regardless of how many people they draw.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the administration of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe set to pass the bill into law by Friday, when the extraordinary Diet is scheduled to close, the demonstrations outside the prime minister\u2019s office have continued and similar rallies are being held around the country.<\/p>\n<p>Because the bill stipulates that coercing information out of someone with knowledge of state secrets is punishable by up to five years in prison, activists worry it could be used to prosecute people seeking public disclosure of sensitive information. The government has repeatedly denied this is the case and that Article 21 of the Constitution guarantees freedom of expression, including public demonstrations.<\/p>\n<p>Ishiba\u2019s comments appear to contradict the government\u2019s stance and have given ammunition to the opposition camp, which has already been critical of the various interpretations of the bill expressed by Cabinet ministers.<\/p>\n<p>Akihiro Ohata, secretary-general of the main opposition Democratic Party of Japan, said Sunday during a street speech in Mito, Ibaraki Prefecture, \u201cIt is guaranteed under the Constitution to stage demonstrations,\u201d urging Ishiba \u201cto change his mindset.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tadayoshi Ichida, head of the Japanese Communist Party secretariat, told reporters, \u201cIt is an unacceptable remark as it declares the people\u2019s voice as terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mizuho Fukushima, deputy chief of the Social Democratic Party, said, \u201cI cannot trust the ruling party, whose member makes such a comment, even if it says it will respect the right to know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Information from Kyodo added<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-right'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-1714 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='1714' data-nonce='fdcf1a9ea5' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/a-priori.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='\u3044\u3044\u306d!' \/><span class='lc-1714 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-1714 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='1714' data-nonce='fdcf1a9ea5' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/a-priori.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='\u30c0\u30e1\u307d!' \/><span class='unlc-1714 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-1714 status align-right'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"lead\">Japan Times 2013\/12\/01 \u6cb3\u5317\u65b0\u5831\u793e 2013\/12\/04 G.R.L.
