Police remove Irene Taeyeon Kwon (with the sign) and the Rev. Hikari Chang from the gate of a new U.S. Marine Corps airbase under construction at Henoko on the Japanese island of Okinawa, on February 19, 2019. Dozens of protestors, who want the construction halted, had to be physically removed in order for trucks of fill to enter the base, which is filling in a huge section of sea in order to build a new airfield. Kwon is associate director of the Scranton Women’s Leadership Center in Seoul. Chang is director of the Wesley Center in Tokyo. They were in Okinawa for a regional seminar on women and militarization sponsored by United Methodist Women.
