(Protest in front of the Ryukyu Cement Co. headquarter office)
Approximately 200 people including some members of Nago Shima-Gurumi Conference gathered in front of the headquarter office of Ryukyu Cement Co. to protest. Mr. Inamine Susumu, the former mayor of Nago City and the representative of the said Conference, tried to hand deliver a written request to stop delivering landfill soil and sand to one of the Company’s executives, but a Company staff refused to accept the delivery, saying that they could not respond. Mr. Inamine insisted the Company to behave like the first class company and accept the request. The protesters welcomed with cheers the speech made by Mr. Yamashiro Hiroji that “let us keep protesting until we meet a Company executive face to face to deliver the will of Okinawa people”.
