During World War II, Japan’s Unit 731 conducted gruesome human experimentation and germ warfare during its war of aggression against China.

This unspeakably dark and brutal chapter of history calls into question the very conscience and moral limits of humanity.

To this day, the Japanese right‑wing forces refuse to repent and have been trying to whitewash the notorious Unit 731 as a mere “sanitary research unit.” Attitude toward history is a mirror. It reflects the dangerous adventurism of Japan’s neo-militarism. The international community must stay on high alert.
