"The evidence for a massacre is faked," he explains. "It is Chinese Communist propaganda." For support, he brandishes a book containing what he says are dozens of doctored photos. One shows a beheaded Chinese corpse with a cigarette in its mouth. "Japanese people don't mistreat corpses like that," he says, stabbing the page for emphasis. "It is not in our culture."
The following passage on the page appears to have accurately paraphrased the Independent article:
He dismissed evidence of the massacre, calling it "faked" and "Chinese Communist propaganda", including a photograph of a Chinese victim's decapitated head with a cigarette in their mouth.
User:XiAdonis has removed the highlighted portion with the following edit summary: "not relevant, out of context and miseading [sic], & written with a spin". Unless these complaints are substantiated then this removal of content appears to be unjustified. CowHouse (talk) 07:54, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The wiki article portrays the picture as evidence of the massacre, that is incorrect, it is from a book Satoru pulled out showing doctored images or what he claimed are doctored images. The wiki article makes it seem as if this was evidence presented to him which he promptly dismissed, it doesn't accurately represent the article through omission and framing.

He said the evidence is faked and then provided the example of allegedly doctored photographs, and the article makes clear it is his opinion and not fact. If we accept your interpretation, then he is talking about a photo that nobody believes is evidence of the massacre. If that is the case, why is he talking about it at all? The article says he mentioned the photographs "for support" that "the evidence for a massacre is faked". Also, nowhere in the disputed sentence does it say that someone presented the evidence to him.
