Hiroshima group to hold 'tribunal' over U.S. A-bombings

Monday, December 6, 2004 at 07:01 JST
HIROSHIMA â€” A civic group in Hiroshima launched a committee Sunday to prepare a "people's tribunal" to try former U.S. President Harry S Truman and others involved in the development of and decisions to drop atomic bombs on Japan in 1945.

The committee, made up of about 30 academics, lawyers and civic group members, plans to kick off "the Peoples' Tribunal on the Dropping of Atomic Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki" in December 2005, following the 60th anniversaries of the bombings on the two Japanese cities, next Aug 6 and 9 respectively, committee members said.
