HONIARA - A man described as"mentally affected" injured a Japanese sailor during a World War II memorial ceremony in Solomon Islands on Monday before bystanders, including military personnel, overpowered him.
US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman was among those attending the ceremony at Bloody Ridge near Honiara to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Guadalcanal. The ambulance rushed him to a hotel for further treatment by US medical staff who were staying there. He was then taken back to his ship, where he was confirmed to have"no problem at all", the embassy official said.
"We know it could have been worse, could have threatened his life," Sivoro said, applauding the"swift action" by those standing nearby to bring the man under control.

The Japanese Forced Mobilization Civic Group denounced the pension payment on Thursday, claiming a number of victims of forced labor received only 931 won (approximately $0.74). The civic group said the payment was “a malicious ridicule and an insult” and urged the Japanese government to “apologize for the 931 won payment and disclose all unpaid wages and pension records of victims of forced labor.”
