We can no longer stand further destruction of our society! ~ 18,000 surround the Diet building against Henoko, Conspiracy Bill

 

YASUDA Koichi, a journalist who is covering Okinawa, emphasized in his speech: “In Henoko and Takae, police are suppressing protesters as they want under the current law. We must not give them any more ammunition called, Conspiracy Act. We have the right to resist up to the last minute. How can we stand further destruction of our society!” On June 10, 18,000 surrounded the Diet Building to “Stop the Landfill in Henoko! Scrap the Conspiracy Bill!” The surroundings of the Diet Building were filled with hot fury. From the ground of Okinawa, INAMINE Susumu, the mayor of Nago City, and ASHITOMI Hiroshi, co-chairperson of the Okinawa Helipad opposition council, joined the protest and strongly called out to the demonstrators, "We will continue the non-violent resistance without ever giving up." Participants held signs that showed their disgust against the viciousness of Abe administration. Some raised senryu satirial poetry that read, “(Abe) thinks all his lies are not enough, (he) adds insolent mouth.” Many voluntary members of Sokagakkai also joined the demonstration. Sokagakkai, whose members are major supporters of the Komeito, the junior coalition party of the Abe agovernment, has its history of being suppressed by the Maintenance of Public Order Act of the war era. When asked, a woman holding three-color flag of their religious organization answered, “Many members are suffering.” (By M)
