The Kameido Incident (亀戸事件, Kameido jiken) was a 1923 massacre in which ten Japanese labor activists were detained and executed by police and military troops in Kameido. This took place during Kameido's mass arrests and executions on 3-5 September 1923, one of a series of massacres committed under martial law during the chaotic aftermath of the Great Kantō Earthquake by Japanese police, military, and civilian vigillantes, with implicit government approval.
