Rodong Sinmun Wednesday observes this in a bylined commentary.

These two militarist maniacs who took the lead in evading and distorting Japan's past crime are working hard to negate again the Japanese imperialists' past crimes related to sexual slavery, the commentary says, and goes on:

The sexual slavery for the Imperial Japanese Army is so hideous crime that all the people around the world demand the Japanese government make apology and reparation, irrespective of political view, religious belief and ethnicity. Witnesses, outcries and evidence made by survivors of the slavery would be enough to cover the whole territory of Japan.

Japanese politicians' total negation and distortion of the sexual slavery are crimes going against history. The Japanese reactionaries' act of feigning ignorance of Japan's past crime-woven history is an outrageous mockery and unpardonable insult to the victims, survivors and the world conscience and justice.

The history does not change by one's assertions.

The Japanese reactionaries would only face disgraceful destruction if they go reckless without elementary reason.

The progressive mankind will surely force the Japanese imperialists to pay for hideous crimes against humanity.
