If occupation effectively ends what international humanitarian laws say is that prisoners of law and civilian internees who are not formally charged should be released. |
The condition is unfair and discriminates against civilians, as it does not apply to military internees. |
After a working period of six weeks, internees shall be free to give up work at any moment, subject to eight days' notice. |
They are said to have inhumanely treated internees, who sustained injuries following repeated assaults. |
These prisoners of war and internees were held in camps extending from Burma to the Philippines and even to mainland Japan. |
More than 100 former prisoners of war and civilian internees attended the reunion. |
