Okinawa Governor Okinawan Governor Onaga held a press conference on the Futenma base relocation plan.

Takeshi Onaga, Governor of Okinawa listens to questions from a journalist during a press conference at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan on September 24, 2015, Tokyo, Japan. Onaga criticized Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's governments' support for the relocation of the Futenma U.S. Marine Air Station from Ginowan City to Henoko in Nago City, Okinawa, and also said that he would revoke permits for construction of the new base granted by his predecessor. Many Okinawa citizens support Onaga and are protesting to block the construction. On Monday the governor called for international support to stop the relocation of the US base in his prefecture during a meeting of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, arguing that the island has been immersed in crimes and environmental problems as a result of the American bases.
