Stop the boring at Henako! 23rd August Tokyo action in solidarity with Okinawa




As a step towards moving the Futenma airbase, the government started an offshore boring survey at Henako, Nago City,. Protest action was held simultaneously in Okinawa and Tokyo on 23rd August. At 2 pm, people gathered on the pavement in front of the Prime Minister’s Office in central Tokyo. The organizer of the rally started the session with a report of the protest actions in front of the Camp Schwab gate in Henako. “The government disclosed the construction site by placing buoys on 18th August. The Coast Guard  is  harassing activists trying to get near the buoys on canoes. Canoes are overturned and casualties have been reported. We denounce this suppression strongly. Our action in Tokyo is reported to the people on the sea in Henako”.  
It was reported that 3600 people, a record high,  gathered in front of the Camp Schwab gate. The urgent protest action in Tokyo gathered 450 participants, who expressed solidarity with the people of Okinawa. (Y)

米軍普天間飛行場の移設に伴う、名護市辺野古沖での海底ボーリング調査強行に抗議する行動が8月23日、現地沖縄と東京で同時に取り組まれ、参加した人々は防衛省と安倍政権を厳しく糾弾した。午後2時前。不安定な天候のなか、東京・千代田区の首相官邸前の歩道に続々と人が集まってくる。司会者がキャンプシュ ワブのゲート前の様子を伝えながら、集会が始まった。「この闘いは、海上で闘っている人にも届いている。18日にブイが設置されたが、近づいた人を海上保安庁(海保)が弾圧。カヌーは転覆させられ、負傷者も出ている。こうした行為を徹底して糾弾する」。現地のゲート前には、これまでで最高の3600人が集まったと伝えられた。官邸前では 約450人が1時間の緊急抗議行動で連帯を表明、気勢をあげた。(Y)

The delivery is invalid! Emergent protest action against the foul play before dawn


At 4am December 28th, the Okinawa Defense Bureau tried to deliver to the Okinawa Prefectural Government Office 16 boxes containing the Environmental Assessment for moving the Futenma Base to Henako. There were citizen protesters at the site, so the Bureau left some at the security office and took the remaining boxes back to the Bureau. The people of Okinawa have grown increasingly angry. An emergency protest action was held in Tokyo by members of Hitotsubo (small parcel) Anti-war Landowners’ Group Kanto Area Local. Nearly one hundred people gathered in front of the Defense Ministry and Prime Minister's Office in the evening, raising chants of anger such as “The delivery is invalid!” “Shame on you!” A representative of the protesters submitted to the Cabinet Office a protest letter on which was written “Shame on you” in big letters .(M)

沖縄「評価書提出」は無効!~卑劣な未明のだましうちに緊急抗議

沖縄防衛局は、12月28日午前4時、辺野古基地移設にむけた「環境影響評価書」の段ボール16箱を県庁に運び込み、黙って置いていった。現場にいた市民が抗議したため、全てを運び込むことができず、残りは持ったまま去ったという。これに対し沖縄県民の怒りが沸騰しているが、東京でも、沖縄・一坪反戦地主会関東ブロックのメンバーをはじめ、有志が緊急の抗議行動に立ち上がった。防衛庁前、そして夜には首相官邸前に100人近い人が集まり、「評価書提出は無効」「卑劣な行為をやめろ」と激しい怒りのシュプレヒコールを上げた(写真)。代表は「恥を知れ!」と大書きした抗議文を内閣府に提出した。(M)
