Police in Japan probe bizarre protest against women-only train carriages

This is an automatic summary, original reduced by 58%.

Police in central Japan are trying to identify the person who sent letters containing vials of a foul-smelling yellow liquid to members of the Nagoya City Council along with a letter demanding that its members abolish women-only carriages on a local subway line.

In the letters, the sender demanded that politicians intervene to force the operator of the Higashiyama Line to stop allocating a carriage just for women during rush hour on weekdays.

The letters did not specify why the sender is demanding that the system be stopped.

The writer added that he had been forced to address the city council after previous demands to the operator of the line were ignored.

Police have confirmed that similar letters - each containing vials of the smelly yellow liquid - were posted to the 22 train stations on the line, which links Nagoya's main station and the Sakae business district.
