东京审判中的溥仪作证及其检控价值

Puyi's Testimony and Its Prosecution Value in the Tokyo Trial

溥仪为远东国际军事法庭检方作证一事为世人熟知,其核心史料保存于国际检察局和苏联伯力档案中。检方原没有将溥仪列为日本侵略“满洲”举证阶段证人的具体计划,直到苏联寄来在伯力对溥仪的讯问记录,才引发检方高度重视。经交涉,检方提请苏方移送溥仪出庭作证。此前由于取证工作分配失衡及东北亚局势等因素,检方掌握的日本侵略“满洲”罪证有所不足,尤缺关键证人,因此对溥仪寄予厚望。溥仪闪烁其词和律师诡辩盘诘造成庭审场面颇显拖沓,但他基于特殊身份所提供的证词,引导检、辩双方发掘出更多涉及被告个人责任的证据,并对法庭裁定伪满洲国的傀儡本质起到重要作用。盟国合作是溥仪作证的前提,而其证词对东京审判做出了独有的贡献。

Puyi's testimony for the Far East International Military Tribunal prosecution is well known to the world,and the core historical materials preserve in archives of the International Prosecution Section and Khabarovsk in Soviet Union.Prosecution had no specific plan to list Puyi as a witness for Japan's invasion to"Manchuria"in proof stage,not until the Soviet Union sent the interrogation of records to Puyi in Khabarovsk did the prosecution pay high attention.After negotiations,the prosecution asked the Soviet Union to transfer Puyi to testify in court.Previously,due to the imbalance of distribution to forensic works,the situation in Northeast Asia and other factors,prosecution's evidence for Japanese invasion of""Manchuria"were insufficient,especially lacking key witnesses,so they placed high hopes for Puyi.His evasive answers and lawyer's sophism and cross-examinations led to the trial to be dilatory.However,the testimony based on his special identity led the prosecution and the defense to discover more evidences concerning the defendant's personal liabilities,and played an important role for the court to judge the puppet nature of the puppet Manchukuo.The cooperation of Allied powers was the premise of Puyi's testimony,and his testimony made a unique contribution to the Tokyo Trial.
