Social Kitchen says NO to the secret law

2013.12.31

Social Kitchen staff members oppose the controversy secret law that is scheduled to pass this week forcibly.

This law, if passed, will not only make the government less transparent, but will damage press freedom as well as our freedom of expression/speech. It will lead us to the society similar to the one before and during WWII where so many people were prosecuted for their ideas.

In solidarity with concerned citizens in Japan and all over the world, we demand that this law to be discarded.
 

Here is information regarding the law:
