Document on Sexual Slavery Enforced by Japan in Past Opened to Public
Pyongyang, October 12 (KCNA) -- A document proving the Japanese imperialists' drafting of many women and forcing of them into sexual slavery in the past was disclosed by the State Archives in Tokyo from late in September to October 6.

The document under the title of "BC class Batavia trial No. 106 case" records the course of trial of five officers of the Imperial Japanese Army in Batavia (the name of Jakarta of Indonesia at that time), and statements made by the criminals after the end of World War II.

According to it, the Japanese imperialists forcibly took away dozens of Dutch women who had been camped in Java, Indonesia to comfort stations in various places and forced them into sexual slavery in 1944.

A Lieut. General of the Japanese army who had been involved in the crime at that time confessed that the sexual slavery was coercively enforced against women.

Nevertheless, the Japanese government claimed that there was no evidence proving women were taken away, subjected to violence and threat of the Japanese Army and there were no such accounts directly showing the forcible drafting of women by the army. This glaringly reveals the vicious and shameless nature of Japan as it is sophism intended to falsify the historical fact and evade the responsibility for the crime.
