A group of writers and journalists Friday called again on the government to scrap an amended set of five bills covering the protection of personal information that the Diet began debating earlier this week.
Opponents of the bills, including journalist Yoshiko Sakurai and writers Saburo Shiroyama and Shinobu Yoshioka, rallied outside an office building used by House of Representatives lawmakers.
According to the group, the amended package of bills are no different from the original bills that were jettisoned by the Diet last year.
