Japanese ask Abe to apologize for war

Activist Seiji Uematsu has asked Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to apologize and mourn on behalf of the Japanese government for those killed during the Nanjing Massacre.

In a statement issued in Tokyo on Tuesday, Uematsu said the Nanjing Massacre is one of the massive war crimes Japan committed during its aggression against Asian and Pacific nations. He lodged a protest against the Japanese government for being silent as the 80th anniversary of the Nanjing Massacre is observed in China and the rest of the world.

Uematsu criticized the Japanese government for the rising force of the country's revisionists who deny that the massacre happened.
