Ruling on secret Okinawa return deal

Ruling on secret Okinawa return deal

TOKYO, Japan - Takichi Nishiyama, a former reporter for major Japanese daily The Mainichi Shimbun, holds a press conference in Tokyo on July 14, 2014, after he and other plaintiffs lost a lawsuit against the state over the disclosure of secret diplomatic documents concerning the 1972 reversion of Okinawa to Japan from U.S. control. Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court upheld a lower court's acknowledgement that the government may have surreptitiously destroyed the documents, but rejected the plaintiffs' appeal over the Tokyo High Court decision not to order the government to disclose them.
