Symposium Exposes Massacre of Koreans by Japanese Imperialists
Pyongyang, October 4 (KCNA) -- A symposium took place at the hall of Korean University under the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon) on Sept. 22 on the lapse of 95 years since the Japanese imperialists brought death and suffering to innocent Koreans with the great earthquake in Kanto area as an occasion.

Attending it sponsored by the Center for Korean Studies of the university were Korean residents and students in Japan and Japanese personages.

First, a play was given to show the thrice-cursed atrocities committed by the Japanese imperialists against Koreans at the time of the great Kanto quake and suppression of Koreans in Japan that is still committed even after 95 years.

A child of a compatriot who had witnessed the Japanese imperialists’ ruthless massacre of innocent Koreans at the time of the great Kanto quake made a speech.

The speaker referred to the facts witnessed by his mother, saying that the Japanese government should acknowledge and apologize for the massacre of Koreans.

The participants observed a moment's silence in memory of the victims.

Speeches were made after reports titled "Probe into the truth behind the massacre of Koreans and theory of denying the massacre" and "Structure of the massacre and responsibility for a colonial rule".

The reporters and speakers disclosed the massacre of Koreans committed by the Japanese imperialists at the time of the great Kanto quake and called for more thoroughly probing the truth behind the massacre.
