Anti-G8 protesters are on their way to the G8 Hotel
[Gipfelsoli Infogroup | Media G8way]
Press Release July 7th 2008
- Japan: Summit protests are relocating
- Japanese army is supporting the police
This weekend the anti-G8 summit protests relocated from Sapporo to the
vicinity of Lake Toya where the G8 summit is taking place. Around 1 000
activists are spread over the protest camps Toyoura, Soubetsu and Da-te.
A number of official demonstrations have been registered against the
official G8 summit. The goal is to get as close as possible to the
conference hotel.
Today, hundreds of demonstrators have set off from the camps to Lake
Toya. The “Ainu Mosir” peoples are supporting the Soubestsu Camp
demonstrators who for the large part are Japanese. The Ainu are
demanding recognition as the original inhabitants of the Hokkaido
peninsula.
Japanese and international activists based at Camp Toyoura will attempt
to disrupt the G8 summit with blockades and rallies. They will be
accompanied by legal support groups.
26 organizations from around the world have protested against the entry
denial of Korean trade unionists with an open letter. Japanese
immigration authorities had rejected the entry of 23 Koreans into Japan.
They had intended to demonstrate against the trade politics of the G8 as
well as US meat imports.
Like during former anti-G8 protests, most recently in Heiligendamm in
2007, the police forces are supported by the military. Specifically, 4
fighter jets and AWACS reconaissance are being used, in conjunction with
12 war ships and patriot rockets.
The internal deployment of the Japanese military is hugely contested.
Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution prohibits the use of land, sea
and air forces. The military is not permitted to be used for conflict
resolution. In order to circumvent this legislation, the Japanese “Self
Defense Forces” were created. The air and sea missions at the G8 summit
at Lake Toya will be carried out in a joint deployment of the SDF and
the US military. The USA has a number of military bases in Japan, which
has repeatedly sparked protests amongst people in Japan. Anti-militarist
groups are part of this year’s summit protests.
The official justification for the deployment of the military is the
defense against “terrorist air strikes”. However, the Japanese police
has had to admit that there is no evidence of such threats.
“As in Heiligedamm in 2007, there are attempts to further establish the
cooperation between police and military forces. Contrary to all claims
it is clearly political protest that is the target of the military
apparatus. We are deeply critical of the militarization of social
conflict”, Hanne Jobst from the Gipfelsoli Infogroup explained.
