Asahi wrote the Okinawa Prefectural Assembly unanimously adopted on Thursday a resolution and an opinion paper protesting the incident in July in Okinawa in which an employee at a U.S. base allegedly tried to sexually assault a Japanese woman. The suspect has been arrested on charges of attempted forcible intercourse. The assembly called on the governments of the United States and Japan to take measures to prevent a recurrence, saying that the act infringed on the human dignity of the victim.
