「又來了」:美國海軍陸戰隊員涉謀殺女性被捕 重燃日本沖繩抗議浪潮

Quick Look

美國海軍陸戰隊員德文·雅各布·巴拉德涉嫌在沖繩那霸市酒店房內搶劫並勒頸致死39歲女性屋宜杏奈被捕,引發沖繩居民對美軍長期駐紮的不滿再次爆發抗議,日本首相高市早苗已向美國提出正式抗議。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

沖繩自1972年回歸日本管治以來,一直承載著美軍在日本的主要駐紮負擔,雖僅佔日本土地面積的0.6%,卻承載著約70%專供美軍使用的設施。歷史上多起美軍人員涉及性暴力、謀殺及交通事故的案件,如1995年少女強姦案和2016年女性遭強姦殺害案,均曾引發島內大規模抗議,導致美軍實施紀律整頓與當地加強安保措施,但根本問題未獲解決。

對許多沖繩居民而言,一名美軍士兵被控在酒店房間內搶劫並殺害一名女子後被捕,再次點燃了他們數十年來對當地涉及美軍人員犯罪事件的不滿。

長期居住在沖繩,52歲的佐藤愛(Ai Sato;音譯)對BBC說:「老實說,我的第一反應是:『怎麼又來了?』」

「從我小時候到現在,甚麼都沒有改變。我們究竟還要重演多少次同樣的事情,製造更多受害者,令他們的家人承受痛苦,最終讓沖繩人民陷入悲傷?」

居住在宜野灣市,62歲的大城明美(Akemi Oshiro;音譯)也有相同感受。

她向BBC表示:「我知道我們不應該對這種可怕的事情習以為常,但它們一再發生,我已經不再感到驚訝。」

沖繩擁有日本規模最大的美軍駐紮力量,設有多個美軍基地,並駐有數以萬計的美軍人員。

二十歲的美國海軍陸戰隊下士德文·雅各布·巴拉德(L/Cpl Devin Jacob Ballard)星期日(10月4日)被日本警察逮捕。警方表示,調查仍在進行中,由於涉嫌罪行與官方軍務無關,因此巴拉德目前由日本當局拘留。

美軍人員當時是否正在執行官方職務,將決定哪個國家擁有主要司法管轄權。當日本擁有管轄權、但疑犯由美方羈押時,美方可在日本正式起訴前繼續保留羈押權。

巴拉德隸屬第三海軍陸戰隊遠征軍(III Marine Expeditionary Force),駐紮於宜野灣市的普天間海軍陸戰隊航空基地。

沖繩縣警察表示,39歲的屋宜杏奈(Anna Yagi)於3日凌晨被發現陳屍於那霸市一間酒店房間內。

據稱,閉路電視畫面顯示,一名相信是疑犯的男子與該名女子一同進入酒店,其後獨自離開,並帶走她的財物。當地媒體引述警方報導稱,屋宜似乎被繩索勒頸致死。

日本首相高市早苗已向華盛頓提出正式抗議。但像佐藤這樣的居民認為,這遠遠不足夠。

「我對政府數十年來一再發表同樣的評論感到非常失望,例如表示會提出抗議,或稱高度重視這宗事件。」

她說:「我希望高市首相直接致電特朗普(Donald Trump;川普)總統。她一直強調自己與特朗普關係密切,我希望她能與他討論具體措施,防止同類事件再次發生。」

涉嫌謀殺案的消息傳出後,日本各地民眾表達憤怒情緒,約100人分別在那霸及東京舉行抗議活動。另有不少人透過社交媒體表達憤怒並要求伸張正義,其中一名用戶寫道:「夠了。」

過去幾年,多宗事故及罪案令當地反對美軍繼續駐紮沖繩的聲音日益高漲。

2016年,一名20歲沖繩女子遭強姦及殺害後,數以萬計示威者走上街頭,抗議當地龐大的美軍駐紮規模。涉案的一名前美國海軍陸戰隊員其後被判終身監禁。

目前約有5.5萬名美軍人員駐紮日本,其中最集中駐紮於這個亞熱帶群島。沖繩雖然是日本面積最小的縣份之一,但日本境內專供美軍使用土地的70%位於沖繩。

1972年,在美軍於第二次世界大戰結束後佔領沖繩群島多年後,沖繩縣重新回歸日本管治。沖繩縣政府資料顯示,自那時起,已錄得6,409宗涉及美軍人員的刑事拘捕。

當地居民表示,大規模美軍駐紮引發多方面不滿,問題包括強姦、襲擊及酒後駕駛事故等罪案,以及噪音和軍機墜毀等對社區造成的滋擾。

1995年,三名美軍士兵在一名12歲女學生從文具店步行回家途中將她綁架、毆打及強姦。

2025年,一名美國海軍陸戰隊員因勒頸及性侵一名日本女子而被定罪。

“Panda Diplomacy” from Nixon to Trump-Xi Summit: The Tension between Symbolic Meaning and Strategic Reality

Chinese giant pandas "Ping Ping" and "Fu Shuang" arrived in Atlanta, United States, on September 27, beginning a ten-year stay. When Xi Jinping announced the matter at the White House, he called the panda an envoy of friendship between China and the United States. The article points out that although panda diplomacy was once a tool for Beijing to create a friendly image, competition between China and the United States has now extended to areas such as technology, trade, and military affairs, and the symbolic significance of pandas has been questioned. Taiwan should be wary of hard power competition behind soft diplomacy.
