Rodong Sinmun Blasts Japan for Denying Sexual Slavery
Pyongyang, September 19 (KCNA) -- The sexual slavery for the Imperial Japanese Army was the most hideous unethical crime as it was unparalleled in the cruelty and baseness, says Rodong Sinmun in a commentary Wednesday.

The commentary says:

The Japanese imperialists abducted and forcibly drafted 200,000 Korean women to force them into sexual slavery during decades of their colonial rule over Korea.

The past sexual slavery by Japan was the hideous unethical crime, which the military organized and perpetrated by itself through the government's positive involvement in the crime, so Japan should take the blame for it.

The international community demands that Japan take the responsibility for the crimes and begin to redeem them as early as possible.

However, Japan did not sincerely reflect on the crimes and apologize for them, but it is impudent enough to justify the crimes.

Going beyond the scope of covering up and playing down the past crimes, Japan is totally distorting and denying them.

This shameless nonsense is an undisguised challenge and insult to justice, truth, international law and human ethnics and morality.

The history never changes although Japan denies it, and the crimes can never be covered up although Japan sticks to the unreasonable insistence. Japan's past crimes are the ones against humanity to which no statute of limitations is applicable and which should be redeemed certainly.

Japan should not deny the crimes and make poor excuse but sincerely admit and completely redeem them. This is the only way of Japan to raise its head before the international community.
