| Yoshio Shinozuka - Imperial Army soldier |
|
Yoshio Shinozuka is a former Imperial Army soldier who
served with a top secret
Japanese biological warfare group called
Unit 731 in
World War Two. He was involved in conducting experiments and
vivisections on
Chinese captives near the northern Chinese city of
Harbin. Shinozuka has given testimony on the activities of Unit 731 on
behalf of 180 Chinese who are suing the Japanese government for
compensation and an apology for deaths of family members they say were
killed in experiments at the world's first biological warfare laboratory.
"I was a member of Unit 731 and I have done what no human being should
ever do," said Yoshio Shinozuka. |
