Some lawyers are protesting the Cabinet decision, saying the standards do not reflect public concerns.

More than 20 protestors gathered outside the prime minister's official residence on Tuesday morning.

Among them was attorney Yuichi Kaido who said the Cabinet approval was hasty as many issues remain unresolved in the standards.

Public opinions sent to the government have expressed concern that information that would be problematic for the government could be designated as a state secret.

The protestors called for the public's right to know and for information to be made public.

One participant said the date for the law to go into effect should be postponed so the Diet can thoroughly debate the state secrets issue.
