Repeated
Rape Cases by U.S. Servicemen in Okinawa & Pathological Indifference of
Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Diehard
physical assault
Victim woman outfacing “U.S. privilege”
Jane, who has
been in Japan for 32 years, lives in Tokyo
If you raise an objection to the rapes and
murders (by U.S. servicemen), you should have the Japan-U.S. Status of Forces
Agreement revised.
A U.S. serviceman assigned to the base at Yokosuka,
Kanagawa Prefecture had Jane swallow sleeping pills and raped her.
Jane filed a civil suit
against the perpetrator serviceman in 2002 and the Tokyo District Court ordered
him to pay her compensation of three million yen. However, surprisingly, the Japanese Defense
Ministry made payment.
The U.S. serviceman left
for the U.S. when the case was on the bench.
Such crimes have taken place every day at
U.S. bases in Japan. Victims are not
only limited to Japanese women alone.
U.S. bases have become a den for heinous criminals.
Therefore, cases of rape,
murder and hit-and-run by U.S. servicemen have not come to an end.
The villain of the problem is the Japanese
government, which comes to terms with the Japan-U.S. Status of Forces
Agreement, and the nonchalant Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which helps such
diabolical U.S. servicemen by using taxpayers’ money.
I do claim that uninterrupted assaults,
rapes and murders of women in Okinawa since 1972 are due to the existence of the
“Japan-U.S. Status of Forces Agreement,” under which diabolical U.S. servicemen
are treated as the privileged.
Is it the right
thing to leave Jane alone with the fight against such crimes?
Scum reporters of major mass media, rouse
yourselves to action!
