The Day Democracy Died

Today I was among the people who were protesting around the Diet building in Tokyo. The government and the LDP were trying to vote the new law to keep the national informations secret from the citizens. The law makes us remember the old one called "chian iji hou", a law for order-keeping, which made Japan's dark days during the war. The new law has the same idea. It will shut our eyes, ears, and mouths, spys us, and threat us. Many people including lawyers, artists, scholars are against the law, and everyday they have taken actions in many ways im many places. Many people massed around the Diet building today, and all of them were calling and shouting their protest. Many people made speeches. A young boy said, "What a shamful nation! I want to get out of this country!" A young woman spoke next,"I understand you, but I still find a hope here. Don't give up. Don't be desperate. We can do some more things." In the late afternoon they enforced the voting. On the way I saw a man in a dark dress standing with a black picture frame and inside it there was a letters "democracy". He was mourning the death of democracy.
