E. China publishes trials of Japanese war criminals

Xinhua, September 2, 2015 Adjust font size:

Jiangsu province published more than 200 documents recording the trials of Japanese war crime suspects during World War II on Wednesday.

More than two dozen of the documents record the trials of 236 Japanese war criminals for various atrocities starting from May 1938.

These trials, according to the documents, were held as a court martial in the city of Xuzhou starting on April 1, 1947 and lasted more than two years.

The court in Xuzhou is among the 10 courts in China that tried war criminals after the end of the Sino-Japanese War.

Some of the documents offer evidence of Japanese invaders' aggression in the region around Xuzhou. These documents also include court verdicts with details on the crimes Japanese invaders committed to Chinese locals, including murder, robbery and rape. Endi
