Abstract: As the Japanese government intensifies its crackdown versus demonstrators blocking construction of a new Pentagon base on Okinawa, the United States Marine Corps has waded into the fray with a series of accusations against activists - followed by the arrest of two peace campaigners. Between January and February, three senior USMC officials accused anti-base campaigners of “hate speech”, “mob rule” and “faking injuries” while on February 22, base security guards seized two demonstrators - only to see them released the next day.
