Japan protestors demand PM Abe resign over scandal
Hundreds of protesters, including opposition lawmakers, demonstrated in Tokyo today to demand Prime Minister Shinzo Abe resign over a favouritism and cover-up scandal that has battered his popularity.
Early today evening, around 700 people gathered in front of the prime minister's office in light rain - one of the largest anti-government demonstrations in recent weeks.
"Let's grill Abe and make him step down," Mizuho Fukushima, a senior lawmaker of the opposition Social Democratic Party, told the crowd.
Participants carried banners reading: "Abe politics is full of lies. We are sick and tired of it."
