Japanese government broke their law in order to suppress Okinawans. They stole Okinawans' properties by the illegal power.
This the very Japanese way of invasion. They are the same as in the days of WWII.
The part of an Okinawan native's land that had been occupied by a U.S. military for communications facility. But the occupational Situagion has come to the end.
Yet, the land owner, still now, cannot step in his own land. Why?
The answer is that Japanese main landers illegally made barriers around the land to dominate the land. ( it last more than one year!)
Notice! Japanese government has NO LEGAL RIGHT to violate the Okinawan's right of his land.
The brutal governors made a huge solid fence that has been erected around the land to show their illegality, spending $700,000 or simply spoiling taxes.
Japanese Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto took emergency action beyond any laws. More than one thousand armed Japanese , one third of them from outside Okinawa, are called to display how Japanese suppress Okinawans.
Okinawan's governor Masahide Ota insists a legal action against the Japanese prime minister. Ota refused to be forced to sign the leases as the Okinawan's representation.
There is one more thing related this matter ---- jourlists.
I wonder why the journalists from outside of Okinawa did not report correctly. For an example, most of them think that this is the anti-U.S. action. Or that this is the outcome of the rape case (a 12-year-old Okinawan schoolgirl was raped by three U.S. servicemen last year).
Thise reports are NOT correct.
What is correct is very simple: Okinawans want to live on thier own lands. And Tthey have the right.
Only Japanese government illegally breaks the human right.
