Around 700 protesters, including opposition lawmakers, demonstrated in Tokyo on Friday, demanding Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe resign over a land sale and cover-up scandal. They also called on Abe's wife Akie to testify before parliament. The scandal surrounds a cut-price sale of government land to an Abe supporter. The prime minister apologised for the scandal, but denied either he or his wife were involved. Friday's rally was one of the largest anti-government demonstrations in recent weeks.
