North Korea issues warrants for 4 Japanese

PYONGYANG, North Korea, March 28 (UPI) -- North Korea has issued arrest warrants for four executives of Japanese non-governmental organizations on suspicion of abducting North Korean citizens.

The North Korean Ministry of People's Security, which issued the warrants, has notified the Japanese government of the warrants through diplomatic routes, and demanded that the four be handed over, the Mainichi Shimbun reported Tuesday.

The four were identified as Hiroshi Kato and Takayuki Noguchi of the Life Funds for North Korean Refugees organization; Fumiaki Yamata of the Society to Help Returnees to North Korea; and Ri Yong Hwa of Rescue the North Korean People! Urgent Action Network.

The move came after Japanese police Thursday raided an office of the pro-Pyongyang group General Association of Korean Residents and placed a former North Korean agent on an international wanted list, in connection with the 1980 abduction of Japanese national Tadaaki Hara by North Korean agents, the newspaper reported.

This story has been out to local S. Korean news outlets. Now international wireservices are picking up the story. These Japanese NGO's must have been rescuing or helping N. Korean refugees. N. Korean regime are manufacturing bogus charges attempting to create equivalence between their past abduction practices and the current Japanese NGO's activities.

The Japanese should tell the North Koreans where they can put their warrants.

To issue a warrant for arrest, you have to belong to a legitimate government.

Survey says?

Bzzzzzzzzzz!

Sorry North Korea - you are nothing but a bunch of criminals and thugs who have been pretending to be legitimate for 50+ years.

hmmm.....abduction is kidnapping; taking someone by force against their will. So, the solution is to ask the "victims" if they were forced against they will to leave N.Korea.
And since N. Korea is identifying them as abductees, then anyone caught in the act or returned to N.Korea would be totally innocent and absolved of any wrongdoing. Right? (yeah sure)

It would be funny if it weren't so sad.
