Are there North Korean government official documents showing that North Korea committed abductions?"},"content":{"rendered":"\nFrom 2006 to 2007, the then Prime Minister Abe Shinzo justified the Japanese military \u201ccomfort women\u201d system by insisting that there wasn\u2019t \u201ccoercion in the narrow sense\u201d as follows: \u201cThere wasn\u2019t coercion that authorities entered houses by force and took people like kidnappers.\u201d (Budget Committee of the upper house of the Diet, March 5th<\/sup>, 2007), \u201cAbout this coercion in the narrow sense, I suspect anything that confirms this fact isn\u2019t discovered. (Budget Committee of the lower house of the Diet, October 6th<\/sup>, 2006) Remarks by Prime Minister Abe do nothing but repeatedly distort the problem. According to this logic, how can we understand the North Korean abductions?\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nIf Prime Minister Abe\u2019s logic is applied to the North Korean abduction issue, because activity whereby\u201c authorities entered houses by force and took people like kidnappers\u201d isn\u2019t confirmed, it is concluded that nobody was abducted by force. Yokota Megumi wasn\u2019t taken away through means such as \u201centering her house by force\u201d.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nIf the logic that it isn\u2019t confirmed in the Japanese military\u2019s official documents is applied, because North Korean government official documents confirming the fact of the abductions aren\u2019t available, it isn\u2019t clear whether abduction is true or not until such documents are discovered.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAmong people recognized by the Japanese government as being abducted by North Korea, some people were forcibly taken by means of direct violence such as Yokota Megumi, and others were \u201ctaken out of the country by means of flattery\u201d (the National Police Agency\u2019s announcement) such as Tanaka Minoru, who was a restaurant staff member in Kobe city. About the case of Tanaka Minoru, the police announced that it acquired \u201ctestimonial evidence etc. strongly suggesting that he was transported to North Korea by means of flattery from witnesses etc.\u201d and recognized him as being abducted on the basis of this evidence.\r\n\r\n\"\" \"\"\r\n\r\nTestimonial evidence confirms the fact of abductions, even if they are not confirmed in North Korean official documents. He is recognized as being not forcibly taken but deceived by \u201cflattery\u201d, the act of giving excessive compliments. Still, the fact remains that he was abducted. It is natural for the police to recognize it in this way.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWhat happens if Prime Minister Abe says to the families of abduction victims that they can\u2019t be recognized as being abducted because the fact can\u2019t be confirmed in North Korea\u2019s official documents, or the members of the families were not taken to North Korea by means of \u201ccoercion in the narrow sense\u201d?\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nFrom the above, you can understand that Prime Minister Abe\u2019s recognition is out of the question. Whether people are taken away by force or flattery, both is abduction, a crime. Prime Minister Abe and others\u2019 logic is nothing but a double standard, spoken with a forked tongue.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
