Photo released on Aug. 15, 2015 by the State Archives Administration of China on its website shows an excerpt from Japanese war criminal Narumi Mitsui's handwritten confession. The fifth in a series of 31 handwritten confessions from Japanese war criminals published online, Narumi Mitsui, born in Japan in 1920, joined the war against China in 1941. In the 1954 confession Narumi Mitsui detailed how he slaughtered and raped prisoners and civilians, killing seven captives in Hubei Province in January 1943, beheading at least one of them. He raped a woman four times a month later. In March, he broke into a civilian house, threatened a 16-year-old woman with a pistol, raped her, then invited his compatriot to rape her too. Narumi Mitsui raped Chinese and Korean women in "comfort stations" over 60 times in various parts of China between May 1942 and July 1945. (Xinhua)
