安和ダンプ死亡　抗議活動中だった女性含む３人書類送検（沖縄テレビ）2026/06/05

Two years after the incident, the investigation has reached a turning point. In the 2024 accident near the Anwa Pier in Nago City, Okinawa Prefecture, where two people were struck and killed by a dump truck, the Okinawa Prefectural Police on the 5th referred three people, including a woman who was protesting, to prosecutors. In June 2024, near the exit of the Anwa Pier in Nago City, a woman and a male security guard in his 40s, who were protesting the removal of soil for the Henoko reclamation project, were struck by a dump truck. The security guard died, and the woman suffered serious injuries, including a broken leg. The police, who have been continuing their investigation by interviewing those involved and reconstructing the accident, have referred the case to prosecutors on suspicion of gross negligence resulting in death, alleging that the woman, who was protesting, jumped into the road, causing the male security guard to collide with the dump truck while trying to stop her. According to sources, the police have attached a letter of recommendation for "severe punishment" requesting the woman's indictment. The woman's lawyer told Okinawa Television in an interview, "We believe no crime was committed, so we will ask the prosecutor not to file charges." The family of the deceased man released a statement through the police, saying, "We, the bereaved family, are still in deep sorrow. We sincerely hope that the full details of this case will be revealed, so that we can understand why our honest and kind husband had to lose his life." Following the referral of the case to the police, Governor Tamaki responded to questions from reporters, stating that he would closely monitor the progress of the investigation and then made the following statement: Governor Tamaki: "In any case, such an accident should never happen again, so I hope that all activities will be conducted in compliance with the law and in a safe and secure manner." When asked about the impact on future protest activities, Governor Tamaki avoided commenting, saying, "That is something that the organizers will decide."
