Antiwar activist who torched Hinomaru flag

NAHA, Japan - File photo shows Shoichi Chibana, an antiwar activist in the village of Yomitan, Okinawa Prefecture, taking part in a mass protest rally over history textbooks at a Ginowan park in the prefecture on Sept. 29, 2007. The 64-year-old former village assemblyman, who was convicted of torching the Hinomaru flag at a national athletic meet in 1987, has vowed in an interview with Kyodo News to keep fighting to achieve peace in Okinawa ahead of the 40th anniversary on May 15, 2012, of the island's reversion to Japanese sovereignty from U.S. control.
