Ex-official argues security laws unconstitutional

Tokinao Chindo, a former local government official, attends a press conference in the central Japan city of Tsu on Nov. 16, 2015, after filing a lawsuit seeking the nullification of recently enacted security laws, which will expand the Self-Defense Forces' overseas activities. Chindo, 76, argues the laws are against Japan's pacifist Constitution. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
