People hold placards denouncing the deployment of US military aircraft Osprey MV-22 during a demonstration in front of the Iwakuni City Hall in Iwakuni, Yamaguchi prefecture in western Japan, on July 22, 2012.
Over 1,000 Japanese demnstrators have staged a rally outside the western city of Iwakuni in protest against the deployment of US Osprey MV-22 aircraft.
The protestors called on officials to ban the entrance of Osprey aircraft to the US Air Force camp, saying they are a serious threat to civilian lives.
"If Osprey transport aircraft came, we cannot live here in our hometown, because they are very dangerous. In no case should the aircraft land in Yamaguchi Prefecture. They are not welcome here and no test flights are allowed here," said one of the demonstrators raising a Red Cross banner.
