(1)Taiwan natives cancel Yasukuni protest due to rightist presence

TOKYO, Japan - A bus carrying a group of Taiwan's indigenous people is stranded near the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo on June 14 after arriving there to protest the enshrinement at the shrine of their relatives who died while serving in the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. The Taiwanese decided not to go further to avoid confrontation with Japanese rightists because police officers told them that a group of right wingers was standing around the shrine.
