Data Proving Sexual Slavery by Japan Made Public
Pyongyang, August 10 (KCNA) -- Data disclosing hair-raising sexual slavery committed in an organized way by the Japanese imperialists under the state sponsorship were made public on Tuesday.

It was revealed by a diary of a Korean who worked at a "comfort station" run by the Imperial Japanese Army.

According to it, the Japanese command for dispatch of troops to the southern region requested the command of the Japanese troops in Korea to cooperate with the recruitment of "comfort women" in May 1942.

The command in Korea mobilized contractors to allure women with honeyed words of earning lots of money and walk them away to battle fields for aggression through Pusan Port on several occasions and forced them into sexual slavery.

The diary said that "comfort stations" by the Imperial Japanese Army were operated under its strict control.

The "comfort stations" in different parts regularly submitted "report on income" and "daily report on operation" to units to which they are affiliated, and the funds for their operation were borne by the army. The relocation of "comfort stations" was done on the orders from the Japanese military.

The Japanese imperialists even forced ex-comfort women to provide sex to the Japanese troops under the pretext of logistics.

These facts prove the absurdity of the recent remarks made by the Japanese rightist elements that there is no evidence proving that the Japanese army directly assaulted and threatened women and walked them away to force them into sexual slavery.

An Pyong Jik, honorary professor at Seoul National University, said that the sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese Army was sponsored by the state as part of the wartime mobilization system like labor drafting, conscription and "voluntary labor corps", adding it was a forced mobilization in its nature.
