The workers residing in Kamagasaki area in Osaka is rioting right now.
This is unrelated to the G8, but it began on the very day that the G8
meeting of the economic ministers took place.
You can read about Kamagasaki in the following:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamagasaki
It was triggered by a severe brutality of the local police to a worker.
The workers stood up as a protest. It has been going on for three days
now. Right before the G8 meeting, two activists of Kamagasaki area were
arrested by the police with separate charges. In Kyoto several offices
of different activist groups were raided. Therefore, it is hard not to
think of a link. Please pay attention to this point.
When you hear about the news and read reports on these incidents, you
might think that the political oppression in Japan is becoming severe
and wonder how the anti-G8 movement is dealing with it. They are doing
fine. Japanese activists are used to it. They are all organizing,
assuming such crackdowns.
Right before the G8, more and more people are joining the movement
against it. Many activists are arriving from abroad. The impetus is on
rise.
