Political repression in Imperial Japan : ウィキペディア英語版 | Political repression in Imperial Japan
Political repression in Imperial Japan lasted from the Meiji period to the fall of the Empire of Japan after the end of World War II. Throughout this period, dissidence was curtailed by laws, and police, and dissidents became Political prisoners in Imperial Japan. ==History== Several laws were passed to curtail dissidence in Imperial Japan. In 1900, the Public Peace Police Law was passed, which criminalized unions and strikes. In 1925, the Peace Preservation Law was passed, which criminalized opposition to the ''Kokutai'' (national body/structure). The Peace Preservation Law was subsequently revised over the years. The death penalty was introduced in the 1928 revision of the Peace Preservation Law. However, among the 2713 persons sentenced to imprisonment for Peace Preservation Law crimes between 1928 and 1933, 956 received stays of execution. According to Elise K. Tipton, the rising number of stays of execution during the early 1930s reflected the increasing emphasis on Tenkō, ideological conversion which became widespread after 1933, when Communist leaders Sano Manabu and Nabeyama Sadachika repudiated their allegiance to Moscow and expressed loyalty to the emperor. An observation system for ''tenkōsha'' (converts from Marxism) was achieved in 1936 with passage of the "Law for Protection and Observation of Thought Criminals" following attempts to establish an observation system for ''tenkōsha'' in 1934 and 1935. In May 1869, the ''Danjodai'' was established with exclusive responsibility for surveillance of political conspirators. In 1871, it was abolished, but its duties and authority moved to the newly established Justice Ministry. They were reassigned again when the Home Ministry came into being but not exclusively to one section of the police. The Great Treason Incident of 1910 became the main motive for setting up the first ''Tokubetsu Kōtō Keisatsu'' (''Tokko'') section in the Keishicho in 1911. Tokko sections extended to Hokkaido, Nagasaki, and Nagano between 1922 and 1926, and the remaining prefectures received sections in July 1928. By the early 1930s, the suppressive apparatus of the state expanded. Its field of operations expanded to include not only leftist agitators but also radical right-wing groups and religious organisations.
