Japan's upper house begins deliberations on "conspiracy bill"

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (R) and Justice Minister Katsutoshi Kaneda attend a House of Councillors plenary session in Tokyo on May 29, 2017. Debate on a bill to penalize the planning of serious crimes began in the upper house after it passed the lower house the previous week amid protests by opposition parties and civil groups, which fear the envisioned legislation could lead to abuses of power by law enforcement authorities.
