Two detained over Nanjing memorial site photos

Two men who posed for pictures dressed in imperial Japanese military uniforms in front of a Nanjing memorial site in Jiangsu province have been detained for 15 days.
The photos show the two men holding a rifle and a saber while wearing caps and uniforms of the Imperial Japanese Army during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) in front of the Shaojiashan bunkers at Zijin Mountain, where many Chinese lost their lives fighting against Japanese soldiers in 1937.
On Tuesday, the photos began circulating on Sina Weibo.
Jiangsu police captured the two men on Thursday night. One man, surnamed Zong, 22, was picked up in Jurong, Jiangsu province. The other surnamed Tang, 25, was captured in Dazhou, Sichuan province.
The two men admitted taking the photos and showed regret, Jiangsu police said.
