Rodong Sinmun Raps at Japan for Its Moves to Cover Its Past Crimes

Pyongyang, February 25 (KCNA) -- Shortly ago, nineteen American historians issued a statement in denunciation of the Japanese authorities' moves to distort history. They in their statement disclosed in detail the Japanese government's improper intention to rewrite the pages of the U.S. textbooks dealing with the sexual slavery for the Imperial Japanese Army. But elites of the Japanese political circle are letting loose a string of remarks that "inappropriate expressions" are used in the U.S. textbooks and Japan demanded the U.S. rewrite them as they are contrary to facts.

Rodong Sinmun Wednesday observes in a commentary in this regard:

What they uttered is, indeed, shameless jargon which can be let loose only by guys with bearskin.

With no rhetoric can Japan deny that what the Japanese imperialists committed was hideous ones against humanity. The world community is simmering with rage over the sexual slavery for the Imperial Japanese Army and regards Japan with disgust because coercion was involved in drafting women as sexual slaves and it was the most brutal crime committed against humanity.

Japan's purpose of denying the sexual slavery is designed to keep its crimes against humanity buried into oblivion in a bid to evade the settlement of its past crimes.

It is an unavoidable legal obligation of Japan to redeem its crimes under any circumstances.

Japan should honestly admit its crimes, though belatedly, and opt for settling its past wrongs.

This would do Japan good either.
