Японы Окинава арал дээр АНУ-ын тэнгисийн цэргийн албан хаагч эмэгтэй хүний аминд хүрсэн хэрэг гарсны дараа Токио хотод эсэргүүцлийн жагсаал өрнөж, АНУ-ын цэргийн хүчийг тус улсаас гаргахыг шаардлаа.
Окинава дахь зочид буудалд 39 настай Анна Ягиг боомилж, эд зүйлийг нь хулгайлсан хэрэгт 20 настай, тэнгисийн цэргийн албан хаагч Девин Жейкоб Баллардыг баривчилсан байна. Сэжигтэн уг хэргийг үйлдсэн гэх үндэслэлийг үгүйсгэж байгаа бөгөөд Мягмар гарагт болсон жагсаалын үеэр оролцогчид АНУ-ын элчин сайдын яамны гадна цугларч, шударга ёсыг шаардан, АНУ-ын цэргийн баазуудыг хаахыг уриалжээ.
Японы Ерөнхий сайд Санаэ Такаичи уг хэргийг “зэрлэг гэмт хэрэг” хэмээн тодорхойлж, Вашингтонд албан ёсны эсэргүүцэл илэрхийлсэн байна. Японы тал АНУ-ын цэргийн албан хаагчдын сахилга батыг чангатгах, цаашид ийм төрлийн гэмт хэрэг гарахаас урьдчилан сэргийлэх арга хэмжээ авах, мөрдөн байцаалтын ажиллагаанд бүрэн хамтран ажиллахыг шаарджээ. АНУ-ын тал уг хэрэгт харамсаж байгаагаа илэрхийлж, Японы эрх баригчидтай хамтран ажиллахаа мэдэгдсэн байна.
Окинава арал нь Японы нийт нутаг дэвсгэрийн ердөө 0.6 хувийг эзэлдэг ч АНУ-ын цэргийн байгууламжуудын 70 хувь нь байрладаг нь олон жилийн турш маргаан дагуулсаар ирсэн. АНУ-ын цэргийн албан хаагчидтай холбоотой гэмт хэргүүд өмнө нь ч олон нийтийн эсэргүүцлийг өдөөж байсан бөгөөд сүүлийн жилүүдэд АНУ-ын цэргийнхэн сахилга батыг чангатгах, баазын гадна архидан согтуурахыг хязгаарлах зэрэг арга хэмжээ авсан ч гэмт хэргийн шинжтэй үйлдлүүд гарсаар байна.

Demonstrators marched on the US Embassy demanding American troops leave Japan following the arrest of a Marine in Okinawa

Outrage over the alleged killing of a woman by a US Marine in Okinawa has erupted in Tokyo, where protesters marched on the US Embassy demanding an end to the American military presence in Japan.
The demonstrations follow the arrest of Lance Corporal Devin Jacob Ballard, 20, suspected of strangling Anna Yagi, 39, at a hotel on the island on Saturday and stealing her belongings. Ballard has denied the allegations.
Okinawa is home to several major US military installations and tens of thousands of American service members.
Footage from Tuesday’s rally shows demonstrators carrying placards demanding justice for Yagi and calling for US forces to leave Japan, before marching outside the embassy under a heavy police presence.

“Neither the US military nor the embassy has offered a proper apology. It is only natural to be angry about this,” one protester said.
Another demonstrator said resentment over crimes involving US personnel had accumulated over decades and accused the authorities of ignoring repeated demands to remove American bases.
“It is truly infuriating that the presence of these bases leads to women being killed or raped like this. I cannot forgive it,” the protester said.
Tokyo has lodged a formal protest with Washington over the case. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has described the alleged killing as a “heinous crime” and demanded full US cooperation with the investigation, tighter discipline among American personnel, and measures to prevent similar incidents. Washington has expressed regret over Yagi’s death and pledged to cooperate with the Japanese authorities.
The case has reignited a decades-old dispute over the concentration of US military facilities in Okinawa. The prefecture accounts for just 0.6% of Japan’s territory but hosts around 70% of the land exclusively used by US forces in the country.
Crimes involving American personnel have repeatedly fueled opposition to the bases. In 1995, the abduction and rape of a 12-year-old Okinawan girl by three US servicemen triggered mass protests. In 2016, former Marine and US base worker Kenneth Franklin Gadson raped and murdered 20-year-old Rina Shimabukuro and was later sentenced to life imprisonment.
Further sexual assault allegations involving US personnel have emerged in recent years despite measures introduced by the US military to tighten discipline, including increased patrols and restrictions on off-base drinking.
