H.K. activist arrested over Senkaku landing

NAHA, Japan - An activist from a Hong Kong-based group seeking to assert China's claim to the Japanese-controlled Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea yells out the group's cause while being escorted to Naha, Okinawa Prefecture, on Aug. 16, 2012, following his and other members' arrest the previous day for landing on one of the isles. A total of 14 people were arrested by the Okinawa prefectural police and Japan Coast Guard for violating Japan's immigration control law after seven of them, including five activists from the group, landed on Uotsuri Island on Aug. 15, 2012.
