(Henoko reporting team) On June 7, around 30 citizens participated in a sit-in in front of U.S. military Camp Schwab in Henoko, Nago, where construction work for a new base is underway as part of the relocation of U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Futenma. The citizens raised their voices saying, “Give back Henoko” and “We don’t need a base.” Actor Masane Tsukayama, of Naha, participated in the sit-in, saying, “I’m vehemently opposed to the construction of a base connected to war.”
 
At sea, the Okinawa Defense Bureau continued unloading soil and sand from the K9 embankment on the Oura Bay side of the construction site. Citizens in seven kayaks and one boat protested against the base construction.
