Okinawans protest at base plan on sovereignty recovery anniversary

People hold signs saying "No" to the planned transfer of a U.S. air base from Ginowan to Nago in front of the Okinawa prefectural government building in Naha on April 28, 2015. They protested against the relocation on the 63rd anniversary of Japan's recovery of its sovereignty in 1952 after its defeat in World War II but a "day of insult" for Okinawa that remained under U.S. control until 1972.
