Pyongyang, August 15 (KCNA) -- The south Korean Federation of Victims of Crimes of Japanese Imperialists held a press conference on August 12 at which it condemned them for perpetrating such hair-raising atrocity as burying Koreans alive in Pusan during their military occupation of Korea, according to south Korean MBC.

Speakers at the press conference recalled in the past the Japanese imperialists buried many Koreans alive after forcing them to build a large torpedo factory in the basements of Pusan Port.

This fact was testified to by bereaved families, they noted.

They urged the authorities to dig up this area to make a thoroughgoing investigation into the atrocities committed by the Japanese imperialists.
