"Defend Diaoyu" activists' boat returns to H.K.

HONG KONG, China - Activists wave Aug. 22, 2012, from the vessel that carried them to Japanese-controlled islets in the East China Sea to assert Chinese sovereignty over the islands. The fishing boat, pictured as it returned to Hong Kong, was impounded by Japanese authorities on Aug. 15 after seven Chinese activists landed on one of the disputed islands in the East China Sea, known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China. The vessel was allowed to leave two days later.
