On September 17, 2002, Japan and North Korea, which had been feuding for many years, finally came together and signed the Pyongyang Declaration of Japan and North Korea. In this epoch-making declaration, North Korea expressed regret and apology for the issue of "missing Japanese" that Japan was concerned about. At this point, the "kidnapping problem" that has plagued the DPRK-Japan relations for many years has finally been said.
The publication of the death list was delayed for two days, and the families of the kidnapping victims did not confirm the whereabouts of their loved ones until two days after Koizumi visited the DPRK.
After the disclosure of the list, Shinzo Abe, Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary who accompanied Koizumi to the summit on the evening of September 19, immediately held a press conference and revealed many inside stories that had never been exposed before.
Just before Koizumi's meeting, on the morning of September 17, shunichi tanaka, Director of Asia and Oceania of Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, held talks with Ma, Director of North Korea's Asian Bureau. At the meeting, the North Korean government handed shunichi tanaka a list of "missing Japanese" in Korean.
So Koizumi talked with Kim Jong Il and asked to translate the list. Koizumi saw the translation of the Pyongyang Declaration before it was signed. This list contains no record of the cause of death except name, date of birth and time of death. Therefore, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs considers this an "informal document" and advocates that it should not be made public. Koizumi agreed with this.
/kloc-On the evening of September, 2009, under the pressure of all parties, Koizumi's government officially announced the names of eight dead people to the families of the victims.
During the talks between Japan and the DPRK, the DPRK government explained that the deaths of these eight people were due to "disease" and "catastrophic death". After the publication of the media, public opinion was in an uproar. Japanese nationals have raised many doubts: First, two people died on the same day (Keiko Benji and Ishioka Hiroshi); Second, he died one year after arriving in North Korea (Akiichi Ishikawa); Third, the mortality rate of young people around the age of 20 is so high (6 out of 8 people do not exceed 3 1 year).
On September 20th, Asahi Shimbun reported that the most unusual thing was that Hiroshi Ishioka secretly sent a letter to his hometown in Sapporo two months before his death. It was two years before the media knew it was 1990. The Japanese policeman who handled the kidnapping case said, "If you really die, you can only be killed. The letter from home itself is a distress signal. "
As can be seen from the map, the location of kidnapping accidents is concentrated in the coastal areas of Japan. Among the victims, the youngest was only 13 years old, and the oldest was 52 years old. Among them, three couples were both tied up.
This time, the North Korean Police Department admitted eight kidnapping cases, involving 1 1 person. The North Korean government submitted a list of 14 people to the Japanese government, and the extra two people disappeared in Europe. The other is a 40-year-old woman named Zengwo Ren Mei.
The family told the story of their missing family. On February 9th and 10, 2002, at the 3rd Korea International Conference on Human Rights and Refugees, held in Tokyo, Japan, the families of the missing persons told the story of their families' disappearance in that year and introduced some little-known details.
Yokota Hui: Blood Finger Yokota Hui is the eldest daughter of her family and a first-year junior high school student. 1977165438+1October15th, after the activities of the school badminton club, he broke up with his classmates and disappeared near his home.
The police conducted a large-scale search from ransom, rape, traffic accidents, suicide and running away from home. Because there were no witnesses and no inheritance, the family lived in anxiety 19 years.
1997 65438+1In late October, several North Koreans fled to South Korea, and they proved that Yokota Hui was kidnapped to Pyongyang by North Korean spies. According to these North Koreans, she was pushed behind the dark boat house and shouted, "Mom, help me!" " "Due to the hard work of digging the wall, my nails almost completely fell off after I arrived in North Korea, and my blood was dripping. The caretaker said that as long as he learned Korean well, he would be sent home to see his mother, so he buried himself in his studies. 18 later, when she learned that this dream could not be realized, she had a nervous breakdown and was hospitalized twice.
After the media learned about this, they began to interview her family. At first, my family wanted to be anonymous, fearing that something would happen after my daughter's real name was exposed. There are serious differences between family members, because without real names, they lose credibility. If the Japanese government has a lot of information, it is good for the children, so they come forward and their father Yokota becomes the representative of the liaison meeting of the families of these kidnapping victims.
Zeng Yuan returned to Miko: Only the smiling film was left. Zeng Yuan returned to the witch with four brothers and sisters. She is the second daughter and has a younger brother below. June 65438+August 1 1, before the accident, the family sat together for dinner. At this time, studying in the United States, she confessed to her family that she would go on a date tomorrow, and the other party's name was Akiichi Ishikawa. The salary of studying in the United States is not high. Even so, she often gives pocket money to her brother who is in college. She is a rare good sister.
12 went out to watch the sunset at night and didn't come home all night. The family was worried about an accident, but the young man made a noise and waited for another day. Later, my family found Ishikawa's car in the parking lot driving in the direction of Shangbang coast. The door is locked, and you can see the camera inside the car and Liu Mei-zi's handbag through the window. The family called their names nearby and found nothing. This is the way to report to the police station. So the local police, firefighters and neighbors came out to help, including the dense forest in midsummer. The search focused on the parking lot one kilometer away from Fiona Fang, and only fragments of Ishikawa sandals were found. Since valuables were still left in the car, and neither family objected to their communication, the police ruled out the possibility of "eloping" and filed a criminal investigation. After the negative film in the camera came out, their happy smiles stirred and tore the hearts of two families.
A few years after the incident, Japan's Sankei Shimbun exclusively reported the disappearance cases of Niigata Kashiwazaki, Fukui Kobayashi and Kagoshima who were admitted to Bangguo under the title of "North Korea Kidnapping". "As long as you are alive," the two families began a long wait.
The list submitted by the DPRK has "unexpected gains"
At the summit, there were 14 people on the list provided by North Korea (only 1 1 person was on the list previously held by Japan), and one of them was SOGAHITOMI, who was not on the list commissioned by the Japanese government and the Japanese Red Cross to investigate North Korea. Because the name and birthday of the woman in the list submitted by North Korea were written in Korean, her birthplace and trip to North Korea were not recorded. Japan asked the Korean Red Cross to submit the identity information of this woman.
On September 20th, the Japanese National Police Agency locked a missing person named "Zeng Me" in Linxiya Town, Niigata Prefecture. She went out with her mother in June 5438+February 24 years ago and never came back. She was only 19 years old when she disappeared, and worked as an assistant nurse in Sato General Hospital near Kanai-machi. Her record is still on the list of retirees in the hospital. Whether SOGAHITOMI is the missing Zeng Yirenmei is still under further confirmation.
Kim Jong Il defined it as a "state crime"
According to Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun, there are different opinions about the real purpose of these Japanese being kidnapped. Some people say that the Japanese should teach North Korean spies to speak Japanese, and the latter will engage in espionage activities under the guise of Japanese identity. Some people think that the Japanese Red Army was "deeply influenced by Kim Jong Il" and kidnapped the Japanese to North Korea to brainwash them, and then sent them back to China to expand the Red Army's power.
According to South Korea's Chosun Ilbo, at the Japan-DPRK summit, North Korea itself admitted that the main purpose of kidnapping was to train North Korean spies to pretend to be them. Facts have proved that 1987 1 1 June, the Japanese teacher of Jin Xianji, the principal of the Korean Air plane bombing, was the "missing" Japanese personnel, Yaeko Taguchi. 1In June, 980, the North Korean spy Xin drunk the 43-year-old DPRK in the coastal area of Qingdao Port in Miyazaki Prefecture and arrived in North Korea by spy ship. Since then, Xin Zhuguang has illegally obtained a Japanese passport in the name of this person, and has established overseas strongholds many times.
18 September, news came that eight of the 14 Japanese kidnapped by North Korea had died, which led to a rapid deterioration of Japanese public opinion. The Japanese government decided to further promote the return of survivors and the identification of the deceased.
A spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry revealed on 17 that the DPRK government will ensure that the surviving abductees meet with their families, relatives and Japanese government officials. If I wish, the DPRK intends to let me return to Japan.
According to South Korea's "Chosun Ilbo" reported on June 5438+08, during the Japan-DPRK summit, Kim Jong Il said that "what happened in the opposing stage of relations between the two countries in the past few decades is unfortunate.
From11970 s to11980 s, there was blindness and heroism in our special department. Is to teach Japanese and then smuggle it to South Korea. As far as I know, the responsible person has been punished, and this kind of incident will not happen again in the future. I apologize for what happened. According to Japan's "Daily News" reported on the 20th, Kim Jong Il characterized the kidnapping as "a state crime committed by some special departments".
Koizumi is under great pressure. Although the word "kidnapping" was not written, on the afternoon of September 20, Prime Minister Koizumi expressed his views on Kim Jong Il's admission of kidnapping and apology, saying that "it is really a big change to talk about this level". Koizumi also revealed that during the meeting, Kim Jong Il agreed with Koizumi to promote the formation of a coordination system between North Korea and the international community.
Before Koizumi's departure, the families of 1 1 Japanese who disappeared in North Korea strongly demanded that Koizumi take this opportunity to solve this problem. On the day before Koizumi left, the Japanese Prime Minister's official residence assured them that this sensitive issue would be discussed first at the Japan-DPRK summit.
Junichiro Koizumi himself reiterated before leaving: "It is Japan's consistent attitude to avoid this issue and not talk about establishing diplomatic relations. The talks will also follow this policy. "
According to Japan's Yomiuri shimbun 2 1, the death of hostages has had a great response among the Japanese people. Under pressure, Koizumi decided to claim compensation from the North Korean government on the 20th, and made it clear on Fuji TV that he asked the North Korean government to cooperate in finding the whereabouts of the hostages and extradite the kidnappers as soon as possible.
