DPRK TO JAPAN: YOU ABDUCT, WE ABDUCT, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? Actually, the DPRK claims that Japan's abductions are worse:
Pyongyang, February 22 (KCNA) -- Japan is talking much about the "abduction" by someone in a bid to mislead the international community with the second round of six-way talks at hand. Its loudmouthed "abduction" is a crafty trick pertaining to Japan to lay an artificial stumbling block in the way of the talks and cover up its true colors as the kingpin of abduction.
In the past century Japan committed such an extra-large crime against humanity as abducting and forcibly drafting at least 8.4 million Koreans. It has not yet reflected on its past crimes. Of late it went to the lengths of abducting at least 20 DPRK citizens in the Korea-China border area to take them to Japan.
Worse still, the "fund for the relief of north Korean refugees" which is to blame for the abduction is trying to justify its criminal abduction as a "humanitarian aid" as it has become a controversy.
