The All-Okinawa Conference held an emergency executive meeting in Naha on the 17th to refrain from protests this week over the construction of the new base in Henoko, Nago, Okinawa Prefecture, following the overthrow of two peace-learning ships and the death of a student and captain of Doshisha International High School (Kyoto Prefecture).

Protests using loudspeakers will also be refrained from being held this month in order to mourn. It has also decided to stop sea protests by boat until safety measures are discussed with the Japan Coast Guard.
The captain, who was operating one ship, also participated in the emergency meeting to explain the situation at the time of the accident.
At a press conference after the conference, Fukumoto Yuji, secretary general, said, "This time it was an accident as part of peace learning, but our colleagues caused an accident and the lives of young high school students were lost. I would like to apologize," he said.
Regarding the maritime protests, he said, "We will discuss with the Japan Coast Guard and proceed with the protests in safety and compliance."
