Kanji meaning safety, peace chosen as best characterizing 2015

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe makes comments in Tokyo on Dec. 15, 2015, on the day's selection of the kanji "an" meaning safety or peace as the Chinese character best symbolizing the year's national mood. Abe pledged to protect citizens as the word was chosen after security bills that will expand the role of the Self-Defense Forces abroad triggered major protests in Japan and a series of terrorist attacks around the world stoked widespread fear.
