Beijing refuses anti-Japan protest

HONG KONG, China (CNN) -- Beijing police have turned down an application for an anti-Japan demonstration on the anniversary of the Japanese forces' incursion into China's northeast in 1931.

September 18, which marks the 72nd anniversary of the Manchurian Incident, has always been a sensitive date in bilateral relations.

This year, several NGOs involved in seeking war reparations from Tokyo are focusing on demanding damages for harm done to Chinese as a result of the numerous bombs and other toxic material left over by the Japanese military in the late 1930s and early 1940s.

Feng Jinhua, a member of the ad hoc committee that organized the protest, said their application was for no more than 50 demonstrators to take part.

"The authorities have no reason to turn down this small-scale, orderly demonstration," Feng said, adding his group would appeal the police decision.
