Uchinada Test Range Incident

Japanese: 内灘試射場事件 - うちなだししゃじょうじけん
Uchinada Test Range Incident

… [Yoshiro Matsui]
[Anti-Security Treaty Movement]
Even under the old Security Treaty, various opposition movements arose when the treaty was implemented. The most representative were the anti-base protests, including the Uchinada Test Range Incident, which began in earnest in 1953, the movement to prevent the conversion of Mt. Asama into a military base (1953), the movement to withdraw the plan to take over Mt. Myogi (peaking in 1955), the issue of the use of the Kita Fuji Maneuver Area (since 1955), and the Sunagawa Base issue (since 1955) (see the entry on Military Bases). In particular, in March 1959, in the Sunagawa Incident (1957), the Tokyo District Court ruled that the US military presence in Japan violated Article 9 of the Constitution, and therefore the Special Criminal Law, which provided particularly strong protection to the US military, was unconstitutional and invalid, and acquitted the defendants. This influenced the growing opposition to the revision of the Security Treaty.
