Rodong Sinmun Condemns Crimes of Japan
Rodong Sinmun,official newspaper of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea,in a signed article on August 13 says that Japan should unconditionally make a satisfactory apology and compensation to the Korean people with a view to showing its sincere reflection on its past crimes.
The Japanese imperialists are the criminals who left an unhealed scar to the Korean people, the article says, and goes on:
Brutality of Japan's unethical crimes committed during its colonial rule over Korea lies in the fact that the crimes were to exterminate one nation in the world.
Japan defined it as a state policy to obliterate the Korean nation and committed brutal atrocities during the whole period of its occupation of Korea.
The Japanese imperialists resorted to despicable schemes to stamp out the national character of the Korean nation during its colonial rule.
At that time, they goaded at least 6 million Korean young and middle-aged people, almost all young labour force of Korea, into hard toil and kidnapped about 200,000 young girls and married women to make them sex slaves for the Japanese aggression army.
The brutality of the crimes also lies in the fact that the crimes were the most shameless and extensive plunders against one country and one nation.
The Japanese imperialists plundered Korea of gold, silver and other kinds of minerals, agricultural products including rice and cotton, marine, forest and all other resources during their colonial rule.
Toward the end of the pacific war, they took away all brass spoons and chopsticks from every household and even ornamental hairpins of married women.
Japan's crimes are not limited to the period of its colonial rule.
Japan has ceaselessly committed crimes of adding pains to the wounds of the Korean people by scheming cunningly and shamelessly to avoid the responsibility for apology and compensation for its past crimes.
Japan should apologize and make an adequate compensation for all its crimes against the Korean people.
