Locals protest against basing MV-22 Osprey helicopters on Okinawa
12 US Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey helicopters are scheduled to be based on Marine Corps Air Station Futenma in central Okinawa. Today Okinawans, and some mainlanders, protested against their arrival citing the poor safety record of the Osprey and the location of Futenma in a residential area.

Thank you very much for your photos of the protest meeting.
I was there and felt the anger and sadness piled up for
more than 60 years occupation of U.S. military. I also sympathize pilots of Osprey which has six defects originate
in its structure. The U.S. government disregards both of
life of Okinawan people and the soliders.
