Following up this article..[Ajisai] Protestors broke through police barricade
Ajisai protest on every Friday has been interrupted by the blockade of hundreds of police and riot.
145 lawyers following Mr. Utsunomiya, the ex-chairman of Japan Federation of Bar Associations offered the Metropolitan Police Department to remove the barricade of the roadway in front of official residence.
They handed the protest note to the Metropolitan Police Department under the joint signatures of 145 lawyers. They state, it restricts the freedom of expression and it makes it more dangerous.
On 7/29/2012, a protestor witnessed police remove the barricade by themselves however.
今日の国会包囲デモ。19:30ごろに正門前通りのバリケードが決壊した直後の様子。あまりの人波に警察自らバリケードを撤去したため。 twitter.com/Sho_Hayashi/st…

This is today’s (7/29/2012) protest to surround National Diet. Around 19:30, this is the moment when the barricade was collapsed in front of the entrance street, but this is because police took away the barricade by themselves because of too much people.
