“Even though it has been 77 years since the end of the war, the United States that dropped the atomic bomb has never apologized or begged for mercy,” Suzuki said on his personal website.

“It is the United States speaking loudly about ‘democracy, human rights and freedoms’ regarding the actions of other countries. So why not tell Japan and the world honestly what the United States has done?” He continued.
