On November 5 a man killed his grandmother with a hammer in Shimane Prefecture.

At dawn of Nov. 8, a man strangled his 82-year-old wife in Oita Prefecture. On the same day a man killed his grandfather in Ishikawa Prefecture.

A prostitution club was exposed and 24 criminals were arrested in Osaka Prefecture on Nov. 6.

Rodong Sinmun Friday runs a commentary in this regard:

The above-said facts make people guess the situation of human rights in Japanese society. Japan is a state of human rights abuses and graveyard of human rights.

Japan is styling itself as if it were an "advanced human rights state" in the world.

In the international arena Japanese politicians blame the "human rights situations" in other countries and play the role as shock brigade in cooking up "resolutions on human rights".

The Japanese reactionaries are running high fever in the anti-DPRK "human rights" racket, in particular.

They are busy to internationalize and politicize the non-existent "human rights issue" of the DPRK while spreading here and there documents cooked up by lies and fabrications.

Japan would be well advised to solve its own human rights issue including despicable human rights abuses, to begin with, not to take issue with others' non-existent human rights situation.
