CHINA-WWII-JAPANESE WAR CRIMINALS-WRITTEN CONFESSION-RELEASE (CN)

Photo released on Aug. 31, 2015 by the State Archives Administration of China on its website shows an excerpt from Japanese war criminal Tomokichi Nagata's handwritten confession. The 21st in a series of 31 handwritten confessions from Japanese war criminals published online, the confession features Tomokichi Nagata, who joined the Japanese War of Aggression against China in 1942, and was captured in August 1945. Nagata confessed that, after breaking into a civilian house in Beijing in 1943, "I found a Chinese man aged around 50 suffering serious cholera. When he reached out his hand for help, I grabbed his hand, threw him to the ground, kicked him and locked the door from outside with a hemp rope, thus locking the man inside his home and killing him". In April 1944, Nagata said he "tied a Chinese peasant to a door plank, beat him with club and force-fed him ten liters of cold water during interrogation." He then told his companions to bayonet him to death. In the same month, he arrested two Chinese soldiers, tortured them and ordered the companions to "bayonet them to death". Nagata also confessed to raping four young Korean women and one Chinese woman several times during 1944. (Xinhua)
