Court rejects Okinawa move
A Japanese court ruled on Friday that Okinawa Governor Takeshi Onaga's revocation of a reclamation permit for a US military base on the southern island was illegal, supporting the central government plan to go ahead with the reclamation despite protests by local residents. The decision is the latest development in a legal battle between Okinawa and Tokyo over the relocation plan that has stalled for 20 years.
