In solidarity with peaceful protest against US military construction in Okinawa and requesting the release of Hiroji Yamashiro

Friends of the Earth International condemns the long detention of Hiroji Yamashiro and other anti-US military base protesters in Okinawa, Japan. The organization argues that the Japanese government's forced construction of military facilities leads to environmental degradation and human rights violations.

• Hiroji Yamashiro, chair of the Okinawa Peace Movement Centre, has been detained for over 70 days and has been denied communication with his family despite requiring regular medical checkups for a previous serious illness.
• The Japanese government is forcibly proceeding with the construction of US military facilities in Okinawa despite local opposition, which the document asserts results in the destruction of democracy, human rights violations, and environmental degradation.
