S. Korean Lawmakers Call for Abrogating "Agreement" on Sexual Slavery

Pyongyang, December 2 (KCNA) -- Nineteen lawmakers of south Korea issued a joint resolution urging the abrogation of the "agreement" on the issue of sexual slavery for the Imperial Japanese Army and the re-negotiation on the issue Nov. 29, according to the south Korean online newspaper Tongil News.

They said that the "agreement" is a humiliating one in which the Park Geun Hye regime evaded the duty of ensuring the dignity and rights of the victims of sexual slavery.

The "agreement" is invalid as it was made without reflection of the victims' opinion, they said.

They urged the authorities to immediately declare the abrogation of the "agreement" and start the re-negotiation with Japan.
