What Happened with the Responsibles?


After the Japanese surrender to the Americans in 1945, the responsibles for this massive murders were granted with immunity in exchange of their research on biological warfare. Former members were monitored closely by American authorities for a while, but then they were left alone. Since then these murderers have lived normal lives in a newly developed country such as Japan. In this country they are considered "heroes."

The only reason because the US granted immunity to the members of Unit 731 is that they didn't wanted the Soviet Union to have access to this material. 

Here we can find an example of one of the most unjust actions taken in the history of war and human rights. These Japanese officials were forgiven and "left alone" by the American authorities. Even more, they haven't been punished by history. Instead, German officials were trialed (some of them executed) for war crimes against humanity.

This genocide will be a "bleeding wound" inside Japanese history. It should be known by everybody that there are always unjust situations in history and that this one is a clear example of them. The people who were in charge of these experiments should have been punished in the past. We think that the Japanese government should apologize for the war crimes that Unit 731 commited. Nevertheless, until now they don't recognize the existance of this group. 

Here we have asked ourselves some questions:
Don't you think these two countries should have the same treatment? Isn't that against American values?
