That includes war criminals and their families, government officials say. Japanese wartime leaders convicted of war crimes by an Allied tribunal are honoured at Tokyo’s Yasukuni shrine. “It’s unfair and doesn’t make any sense. How can I accept this unbelievable situation?” Lee said as he clutched dog-eared clippings documenting his years of campaigning for recognition and compensation.Twenty-three of them were executed and he too was sentenced to death by hanging as Kakurai Hiromura in 1947.

Cribb said it was unfair the Japan gave pensions to their war criminals but not to Koreans who were part of the Japanese army.In 1943, Lee oversaw about 500 Allied prisoners of war building what later became known as the Death Railway between Thailand and Myanmar. Austen Fyfe, an Australian POW, said Lee was notorious for his brutality and beat him repeatedly, including with a bamboo stick on the back of the head. Other prisoners said Lee would stalk their makeshift hospital and “beat up the people he thought to be well enough to work”.

Judge starts new injunction barring Lee statue removalBREAKING: Virginia's effort to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee in Richmond is on hold for another 90 days following a judge's order in a lawsuit filed by property owners. Gov. Ralph Northam announced plans to remove the statue in June. Property owners should be paying taxes for that very pricy but of real estate ? Has the tax bill been sent out yet? In bourgeois society, the past dominates the present; in Communist society, the present dominates the past. Imagine working that hard to keep a statue of a traitor up.
