Protest against enhanced role for Japan's armed forces

HIROSHIMA, Japan - Sunao Tsuboi, director of the Hiroshima Prefectural Confederation of A-Bomb Sufferers Organization, criticizes the government of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at a protest in Hiroshima, Japan, on July 1, 2014, after the Cabinet approved reinterpreting the Constitution to allow the Self-Defense Forces to defend allies under armed attack in collective self-defense. The decision marked a departure from Japan's postwar security policy despite criticism that its pacifist credo would be in danger.
