High School students hold rally against security legislation

About 5,000 high school students march in Tokyo's Shibuya district on Feb. 21, 2016, to protest against controversial security legislation enacted the previous year, which will expand the role of Japan's Self-Defense Forces abroad. Similar rallies of teenagers were also held in 14 other prefectures across Japan including Miyagi and Osaka, with students marching to the rhythm of hip-hop music. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
