Outrage grows over Nanjing selfies

Survivors of the Nanjing Massacre and historians are calling for legislation to sanction people like the two men who posed for photos dressed in imperial Japanese military uniforms in front of a Nanjing memorial site. The two were detained last week.

"A mere 15-day detention is not a serious enough penalty for them," Wang Yilong, a survivor of the massacre in the winter of 1937-38, told thepaper.cn.

The 95-year-old saw the newspaper photos and was angry that the two adults couldn't bring themselves to respect the victims of the massacre - in which hundreds of thousands of people were raped and murdered - and the bloody history of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45).
