Court rejects suit against Yasukuni enshrinement

NAHA, Japan - One of the plaintiffs (front) of a suit against their relatives' enshrinement at the war-linked Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo makes an appeal in front of the Naha branch of the Fukuoka High Court in Okinawa Prefecture before the ruling on Sept. 6, 2011. The branch upheld the same day a lower court decision to reject the suit by five Okinawa Prefecture citizens, who asked the central government and the Shinto shrine to delist their 10 deceased relatives' enshrinement at the shrine and to pay a total of 500,000 yen in damages for mental pain they claim to have suffered from the enshrinement.
