Currently, the leadership of Japan is embellishing Japanese aggression during the Second World War. Asian countries that suffered from the Japanese invaders have repeatedly accused Japan of not recognizing and hiding from the world community the horrors of the crimes of the Japanese militarists.
The Japanese imperialists, who militarily occupied the Asian countries and carried out ominous colonial-fascist domination, committed unforgettable anti-human crimes.
According to the order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied occupying forces, General Douglas MacArthur, on January 19, 1946, an international military tribunal for the Far East was organized in Tokyo. 29 people were brought before the court, mostly members of the cabinet of General Hideki Tojo.
The continuation of the Tokyo process from December 25 to December 30, 1949 was the Khabarovsk trial of twelve former soldiers of the Japanese Kwantung Army accused of developing and using bacteriological weapons.
Among the defendants in the Khabarovsk process were the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Yamada Otozoo, the former head of the health department, Lieutenant-General Medical Service Kajitsuka Ryuji, former head of the bacteriological unit No. 731, Major General Kawashima Kiosi, former scientific officer of the bacteriological unit No. 100, Lieutenant Lieutenant Kharazakura, the former Bacteriological Unit No. 731 medical technician of the branch number 162 squad number 731 Kurushima Yuji.
It should be recalled that the 731-detachment located twenty kilometers from Harbin was a Japanese center for the preparation of bacteriological warfare. The causative agents of typhoid, tetanus, anthrax, smallpox, cholera and many other terrible diseases were produced here. In the 731st detachment, at least 600 people died each year from experiments on contagion of prisoners with acute infectious diseases.
The Japanese army carried out criminal acts prohibited by both the Geneva and Hague agreements. What was done by the Japanese military is a crime against humanism. Under the leadership of the Japanese microbiologist Shiro Ishii, over such inhuman experiments were carried out over the prisoners that a man could never have thought of. "Research staff" conducted an autopsy of living people with sequential extraction of organs, inculcated unhappy anthrax, smallpox and other fatal diseases in order to see how a bacteriological weapon would work.
The military tribunals in Tokyo and Khabarovsk qualified the actions of the soldiers of the Kwantung Army as war crimes against humanity. The materials of these trials have not lost their actual significance today either, because the same dangerous tendencies are again reviving and developing in Japan, which ultimately led its leaders to the defendants' bench.
At the same time, the Japanese government still denies the atrocities committed by members of Detachment 731 during the war, citing a lack of historical data, and most of the monsters were in no way punished. The Americans who entered the territory of Japan promised members of Detachment 731 immunity from prosecution in exchange for all developments in the field of biological weapons.
In addition, it should be noted that today war criminals in Japan are revered as heroes. The Japanese government introduced the practice of posthumous awarding of thousands of soldiers and officers of the former imperial army.
Japanese officials and politicians, as well as millions of ordinary Japanese, annually visit the Yasukuni Shrine, in which the souls of almost two and a half million dead soldiers and officers, including more than a thousand, convicted after World War II for war crimes and 14 of them, are worshiped.
The pilgrimage of Japanese top officials to the Yasukuni temple is perceived as evidence of the absence of remorse for the war crimes of World War II and the course of remilitarizing Japan.
