SHIJIAZHUANG - Three Japanese who intruded into Chinese military zone without authorization were released Thursday morning after admitting to have violated Chinese law and showed regret for their mistake.

But Sada Takahashi, one of the four Japanese nationals under house arrest for illegally videotaping military targets, is still being held for investigation.

The state security authorities in Shijiazhuang, capital of northern Hebei Province, said on September 23 that the four Japanese nationals were held for investigation in China.

The authorities have taken measures against the four people according to law after receiving a report about their illegal activities, according to a statement of the authorities.
