JITSUROKU RENGO SEKIGUN - ASAMA SANSO ENO MICHI
UNITED RED ARMY
The American occupying force brought their democracy to Japan, encouraging freedom of speech. But when America committed its new allies to the Cold War, it could not rid itself of the spirits that it called. The universities in particular transformed into hotbeds of resistance. Japanese students opposed the state and were relentlessly persecuted. At the end of February 1972 the nation was rocked by a 10-day siege of the Asama skiing lodge, an event exploited in all the media, during which two policemen died. But the first victims of the militant students were not representatives of state power, but their own comrades: Before it even came to combat with the police, fourteen young people had fallen victim to the fanaticism of the «United Red Army.»
