In an article Kim said many Korean women were taken away to Japan under the signboard of the "working volunteers corps" during the Japanese imperialist colonial rule and were forced to toil and moil in Japan without being paid for what they did and are now undergoing sufferings.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is a typical war criminal enterprise which forcibly took away more than 100 000 Koreans to coal mines, mines, ship yards, munitions factories, etc., Kim said, adding:

But it has neither admitted aggression and plunder of Korea nor made any apology and reparation for the crimes committed against humanity as is the case with the Japanese government.

Kim condemned Mitsubishi for shunning the settlement of its past crimes while making a mockery of the victims under the patronage of pro-Japanese Lee Myung Bak.

Kim recalled that civic organizations of south Korea and Japan have waged a protracted struggle against the war criminal enterprise of Japanese imperialism and recently launched a campaign for boycotting Mitsubishi products.

The past crimes of the Japanese imperialists should be certainly liquidated to achieve justice and peace, Kim held, calling upon all circles to turn out in positive actions.
