TOKYO: Several hundred people, most of them expatriate Americans, held a protest on Friday in the Japanese capital, Tokyo, against U. S. President-elect Donald Trump, hours before his inauguration in Washington.
Some people held up electric candles and others carried placards reading “Love Trumps Hate” and “Women’s Rights Are Human Rights”, as they marched along a downtown street.
“Trump presidency gets my blood boiling … Everything we value could be gone. It’s time to speak your mind and concerns and to do our best to salvage the values we cherish in America,” said Bill Scholer, an art teacher.
“I grew up in the 1960s, and it feels like we are going backwards, and am very worried that we will lose all of the advances we have made over these years,” said Holly Thompson, a writer.
