Chin Heh Ching: Thank you for your comment. The location name was indeed misspelled and it has been corrected now. Also, Lantau was the location of the atrocities committed and not the location of the war crimes trial.

Luntau Island? Is it Lantau Island of Hong Kong instead? The venue appears not on Lantau Island anyway since there couldn't be any such a grand hall on the Island. The captioned trial is also not on the trial timeline list in the main article. Can I have some more information about the atrocities on trial? Many thanks.
