BEIJING, Dec. 13 (Xinhuanet) -- China's State Archives Administration has published the transcript of a court verdict against a Japanese Major General who was involved in the Nanjing Massacre.
Major-General Sasaki Toichi is widely recognized as having overseen some of the worst atrocities that took place under his command. According to the verdict, his unit committed atrocities of unparalleled brutality and violence. They included mass murder, gang rapes, beheadings, burning and burying people alive, looting and wanton destruction.
His unit alone killed over 100,000 victims, one third of the total. Today’s publication is the latest in a series of releases by the archive, aimed at heightening awareness of the massacre, in the run-up to today’s memorial events.
