A Chinese man is sentenced to 8 months for vandalizing Japan's controversial Yasukuni Shrine.

A Tokyo court sentenced a 29-year-old Chinese man, Jiang Zhuojun, to eight months in prison for spray-painting "toilet" on a pillar at the Yasukuni Shrine in May. The shrine, which honors Japan's war dead including convicted war criminals, has been a source of tension with China. Jiang played a key role in the act, scouting the location and preparing the paint. The two other Chinese men involved have fled to China and are on a wanted list.
