Australian PM: Centaur Sinking Violated Law

The January 21st West Australian.

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said the Japanese submarine's sinking of the Hospital Ship Centaur was a violation of the most basic humanitarian conventions."The action to sink the Centaur by the Japanese Navy at the time was, in our view, a complete breach of international law."

A Centaur hot line has been established for relatives of the Centaur's crew. 1800-019-955 is the number to call to find out about the memorial service planned for March.
