Minju Joson Tuesday in a commentary says that history of crimes can never be written off and the international community never tolerates it no matter how desperately the Japanese reactionaries may try to conceal them.

The Japanese authorities have resorted to all sorts of despicable moves to withdraw the statues, displeased with the erection of the statues symbolic of the crime related to the sexual slavery for the Imperial Japanese Army one after another in their ally country U.S., the commentary says, and goes on:

Japan was only greatly disgraced in the world while trying to realize their intention with a petty amount of money.

The reason that Japan reacts so sensitively to the erection of the statues and goes desperate to withdraw them is that it is afraid of its hideous crimes against humanity highlighted in the world and that it wants to evade international pressure for redemption of the past.

Ridiculous is the Japanese reactionaries' calculation that their past crimes can be put into oblivion of history forever.

Japan's past crimes are not an issue that can be glossed over or put into oblivion of history. The crimes related to the sexual slavery are an insult to humankind, a total denial of it and a challenge to justice and conscience.

No matter how desperately the Japanese reactionaries may struggle, they can never conceal the hideous crimes against humanity committed by the Japanese imperialists in the past and they will certainly face stern punishment by history.
