Thousands protest in Japan to defend pacifist constitution from revisions

Thousands of Japanese youth protested on Sunday to defend the country’s pacifist constitution amid government attempts for revision. Participants, including 22-year-old Gohta Hashimoto, voiced concerns over Japan's alignment with U.S. military actions, rallying against Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's policies. The movement has gained momentum, swelling from 3,600 demonstrators in February to an estimated 36,000 this weekend.
