South Korean woman Kim Pok Dong, a victim of the sexual slavery for the Imperial Japanese Army, testified to the unethical crimes committed by the Japanese imperialists in the past.

She recalled she was taken away as a sexual slave for the Imperial Japanese Army at the age of 15 in 1941 and ruthlessly violated in Japan, China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and other places.

She referred to the pain resulting from the national split and the urgency of national reunification.
