A statement read out there denounced the Japanese prime minister for making on February 7, too, the reckless remarks that "there is no evidence proving soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army took away women by violence and threat before reducing them to comfort women".

Japan is now working hard to distort truth, while correcting Kono's statement in which he officially admitted the involvement of the Imperial Japanese Army in the sexual slavery and its coercive nature, it noted, adding:

The Japanese government should admit its past crimes and own responsibility for them so that it may not feel ashamed before the younger generation.

The statement urged the Japanese government to make honest apology and reparation to the victims of the sexual slavery.
