This 'reality tour', in which people intend to see the reality of the super-rich housing just by walking around the mansion owned by the current prime minister Tarou Asou who is a son of conglomerate family, was a preliminary event for the coming Anti-war and Resistance Festa that will be held in 29th & 30th Nov.

Last Sunday 26th, after a small protest in front of the railway station, 50 people took a walking trip to the mansion without any signs or banners, not even any loudspeakers. Three people were arrested allegedly because of their 'violent'interfering with the police in the execution of their duties. This is how it was reported last night in the every mainstream media outlet, however, all these reports were based on the 'official' version made by the police. But the true brutality came from the police soon after the walking started. Whole situations recorded by 3 or more our still and video cameras.
