Οκινάουα: 20χρονος πεζοναύτης ύποπτος για τη δολοφονία 39χρονης ‑ Τα έκτακτα μέτρα των ΗΠΑ

📌 #Japan 🇯🇵 JAPANESE PROTESTERS TELL U.S. MILITARY: "YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE" Anger is once again erupting in Japan over the presence of U.S. military forces following the arrest of a 20-year-old U.S. Marine accused of killing 💔 39-year-old Japanese woman Anna Yagi in Okinawa on October 3. The Marine has denied the allegations, and the investigation is ongoing. On October 6, around 180 protesters gathered outside the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo demanding an end to the U.S. military presence. Another demonstration took place outside Japan’s Foreign Ministry on October 8. This isn’t the first time Japanese protesters have taken to the streets over allegations involving U.S. military personnel. In 1995, the abduction and sexual assault of a 12-year-old Okinawan girl by three U.S. servicemen triggered a massive rally attended by approximately 85,000 people, according to organizers. More recently, sexual-assault cases involving U.S. personnel in Okinawa triggered another protest of approximately 2,500 people in August 2024. According to Okinawa Prefectural Police data, 140 sexual-assault reports involving SOFA personnel were recorded from 1972 through 2024. Okinawa currently hosts the majority of U.S. Marines stationed in Japan, while the island has long carried a disproportionate share of the U.S. military presence. The repeated incidents have made the issue a longstanding source of anger among some Okinawan residents. (Stop letting whites into Asia)

"US, get out of Okinawa!" Tokyo residents have taken to the streets demanding the withdrawal of American troops from Japan, with protests held outside the Prime Minister’s Office and the US embassy. The anger follows the killing of 39-year-old Anna Yagi, who was strangled in a hotel in Naha, Okinawa’s capital, early on Saturday. Police arrested Devin Jacob Ballard, a 20-year-old US Marine stationed at Futenma Air Station, on suspicion of murdering her and stealing her wallet and backpack. He denies the allegations. This is far from the first such case. Last year a US Marine was sentenced to seven years for choking and attempting to rape a woman in her 20s. In 2017 a former Marine working on a US base received a life sentence for the rape and murder of a local woman. Okinawans have opposed the heavy US military presence for decades, citing crime, noise and pollution from the bases.

🇯🇵 🔴 HORROR EN JAPÓN: Hallan sin vida a una mujer dentro de un hotel tras ingresar con un marine de EE. UU. Un grave e indignante suceso estremece a la ciudad de Naha, en Okinawa, Japón, luego de que las autoridades detuvieran a un militar estadounidense tras el asesinato de una mujer dentro de una habitación de hotel. De acuerdo con la investigación policial, las cámaras de seguridad del establecimiento captaron a Devin Jacob Ballard (20 años), un cabo de lanza del Cuerpo de Marines de EE. UU., ingresando al hotel junto a Anna Yagi (39 años). Poco tiempo después, las grabaciones registraron el momento en que el militar abandonó el lugar completamente solo. Un empleado del establecimiento descubrió posteriormente el cuerpo sin vida de la mujer tras vencerse la hora del check-out. Los investigadores sospechan además que, tras cometer el crimen, el militar se apoderó de la cartera y la mochila de la víctima. Horas más tarde, un oficial de policía localizó al acusado caminando en soledad por una calle del concurrido distrito de entretenimiento de Naha, procediendo de inmediato a su detención. El Cuerpo de Marines confirmó que Ballard pertenece a la III Fuerza Expedicionaria en Okinawa y aseguró estar colaborando plenamente con la investigación. Mientras tanto, el gobierno de Japón presentó una fuerte protesta diplomática ante los Estados Unidos por este brutal hecho.
