Ceremony at Buryatiya monastery honors post-WWII Japanese detainees
Monks recite prayers during a memorial service at a Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Buryatiya, Eastern Siberia, on May 28, 2017, to honor postwar Japanese detainees who died in the republic. In the wake of Japan's defeat in World War II in August 1945, over 10,000 Japanese soldiers and civilians were taken to and detained in Buryatiya by the Soviet Union, of whom 785 died there. (Kyodo)
