【質問】オーシャン島事件について教えてください．

Alright @crudeborne it's been a while but here we go. Banaba Island. Contained a high amount of Phosphate. Discovered and annexed in 1900. That same year mining and shipping of phosphate from the island began. 🧵 1/ 4 pic.twitter.com/a0Jh3rKcQz

By the early 1970s, annual production reached a high of 550,000 tons, but deposits were exhausted by the time of Kiribati’s independence in 1979 in 1919 and was occupied by Japanese forces from 1942 to 1945. The Japanese deported many of the local Micronesian inhabitants 🧵2/4

..to the Gilbert and Caroline islands. (Including both Banabans and Gilbertese) And in August 1945, after Japan had already agreed to the terms of surrender, massacred all but one of the remaining 150 Gilbertese. 🧵3/4 pic.twitter.com/TdBbuukzQx

昔買った古い雑誌『丸』を読んでいたら、終戦直後に第六軍の臨時軍法会議で上官殺害未遂などで有罪判決を受けたが陸軍刑務所から脱走、十数年後に窃盗罪で捕まった元兵士に対して、軍法会議の未執行分の懲役を今執行しようと裁判所が理屈を考える小論があり、なんとも言えない気持ちになってしまった。

この小論は小特集の1篇で、もう1篇はオーシャン島事件（海軍の第六七警備隊が捕虜殺害を隠蔽するため、終戦直後に島の原住民を虐殺した事件）の概要及び戦犯裁判の話という重苦しい小特集。

オーシャン島事件の方の小論には、処刑された中隊長の「銃殺された土民には同情したがそれは私情に過ぎず、日本武人として上司の命令に服従して行った職務上絶対かつ当然の行為」という遺書が載っている。論旨としては連合軍による不当処刑という風にもっていきたいらしい。わからないわけではないが…

2020-11-08 22:25:24

「わからないわけではない」とは、理屈の立て方としての話であり、私自身は連合軍による不当処刑だとは考えていません。

1/6 Katerina Teaiwa's Project Banaba exhibition mourns the destruction of a Pacific island by phosphate mining & celebrates the resilience of its exiled people. We don't hear about it on Anzac Day, but NZ's military played a role in Banaba's tragedy. pic.twitter.com/Lt4SeMXvTy

2/6 In 1925 about 1,100 Chinese, Micronesians, & Polynesians were digging for phosphate on Banaba, which was known to whites as Ocean Island. Their wages were very low; British & NZ overseers made their days miserable. Some Chinese workers smuggled guns onto Banaba. pic.twitter.com/pN9TOXHYZT

3/6 It is hard to understand, from the records I've seen, exactly what happened on Banaba in December 1925, but the Chinese workers clearly took power away from the island's armed constabulary. There were reports of burning buildings & clashes between Pasifika & Chinese workers. pic.twitter.com/QCPHy0n5uW

4/6 Britain asked NZ for help, & the HMS Laburnum was sent to the island. The ship landed NZ forces, who killed at least one Chinese worker as they recaptured the island. A number of Chinese were deported from Banaba to Suva, where they were imprisoned. pic.twitter.com/YWK5bOlpev

5/6 NZ's intervention on Banaba recalls the armed party we sent to Fiji in 1920 to smash a huge uprising there by Indian sugar workers. In both cases 'order' was restored by NZ guns, & the exploitation of coloured labour & indigenous land resumed. pic.twitter.com/tmw3H4cjU2
