The lady minister for Administrative Reform of Japan blustered at a news conference that "the comfort women system was legal during the war time."

Rodong Sinmun Saturday in a bylined commentary observes in this regard:

This is a revelation of Japan's sinister intention to repeat its crime-woven past.

In Japan an increasing number of guys unhesitatingly make reckless remarks justifying the sexual slavery for the Imperial Japanese Army but nobody considers this as a serious problem. This clearly shows the heterogeneous society of Japan.

The Japanese people should bear in mind that any act of denying the past history is as foolish an act as inviting a disaster, heighten vigilance against the reckless remarks of the right-wing politicians and not pardon such human scum.

Human scum is fated to face a severe punishment by history.

Japan should clearly know that with no rhetoric can it shirk off the historical, legal and moral responsibility for the above-said sexual slavery.
