Pyongyang, June 9 (KCNA) — The sexual slavery against Korean women committed by the Japanese imperialists in the past was the crime organized and put into practice by the then Japanese government and military.
The Japanese imperialists, who set up comfort stations in an organized way and buckled down to fostering gang rape, mobilized all government and military power to forcibly abduct the Korean women massively.
Seiji Yoshita, who was involved in it, in an interview with the Hokkaido Shimbun in February 1992, confessed that what is clear is that they did not recruit the comfort women but arrest them and that no one willingly complied with it.
As confessed by the Japanese, it is quite clear that it was impossible to take away 200 000 Korean women one by one, but only by the exercise of unlimited government and military power.
The Japanese imperialists, who mobilized not only administrative and police organs but also gendarmerie and army, forcibly abducted and drafted many Korean women including unmarried women under or over the age of 20 and women with infants. Even teenage girls were included.
The Japanese imperialists took the women to the places where they invaded, and committed to brutal atrocities that made even the brutes blush.
They killed in a cruel way the women who resisted the unbearable insults, maltreatment and evil deeds, and did not obey their demands.
In this regard, a Japanese woman Sumiko Shimizu said at the 3rd Pyongyang Seminar on “Peace in Asia and Role of Women” that the Japanese imperialists committed the most vicious act against the Korean people, violating the sexuality and human rights of Koreans and destroying their lives. She denounced that it was an international crime committed organizationally and violently by the Japanese army and government.
The world had never witnessed such heinous and tremendous unethical atrocities as the sexual slavery committed by the Japanese imperialists which is unimaginable with the reason of human being. -0-
