Okinawa Miyaku, Japanese executed in China

Tokyo court orders Japan Ministry of Foreign Affairs(MOFA) to disclose a secrete deal signed thirty years between Japan and the U.S. regarding transfer of Okinawa base. According to Sheila Smith of Council on Foreign Relations, the first ruling on the miyaku is significant as "a milestone, however, in that it is the first time that citizens have used Japan’s Information Disclosure Act effectively against the government on an issue related to the US military."

The ruling also certified that there was such a behind-the-closed-doors agreement between the two countries.

According to TBS News, three Japanese drug smugglers were executed in Dalian of Northeastern China.
