Скачать или смотреть Anti-Olympics demonstrators march in central Tokyo

(23 Jul 2021) Several-dozen protesters gathered to march the city streets close to the national stadium as the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games opening ceremony was about to begin, 364 days behind the original schedule and with a very different feel than what was originally intended before the pandemic changed everything.
The protesters, walking from Hrajuku station to Sendagaya station nearby the stadium, chanted "Cancel the Olympics" and carried banners reading "No to Olympics in Tokyo" and "Olympics kill the poor".
The Games, largely without spectators and opposed by much of the host nation, are going ahead as the International Olympic Committee and the Japanese government have been able to surmount strong opposition.
The opening ceremony of the pandemic-delayed Games is being held without spectators as a measure to prevent the spread of coronavirus infections, although some dignitaries and invited guests will be in the stadium seats, including US first lady Jill Biden.
Many remaining seats are being filled by placards.
