Korean Woman Abductee Returns Home

Korean Woman Abductee Back to Homeland from Japan Pyongyang, June 26 (KCNA) -- To Chu Ji, Korean woman who had been abducted to Japan, came to Pyongyang Tuesday by air. At the airport she had an emotion-charged reunion with her children whom she had so much longed to see. She was interviewed by mediapersons at the airport upon her arrival here and at the DPRK embassy in Beijing and route to the homeland. They were attended by mediapersons of the DPRK and China and foreign correspondents in China. To Chu Ji was born as the third daughter of Korean father To Sam Dal and Japanese mother Miyoko Ishikawa in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan on Oct. 28, 1949. She came to the DPRK together with her parents in 1960. She is a citizen of the DPRK. At the interviews she explained how she, who was living in Pukchang County, was lured by bad guys into crossing the River Tuman against her will on Oct. 18, 2003 and how she was taken to Japan. She said while living in Japan she as a mother of five children keenly felt that it would be quite worthless to live separated from them. I felt stronger urge to reunite with my children and grandchildren when I heard news that they are still leading a happy life under the care of the Party, she said, and added: I spent 3 years and 7 months in uneasiness after being taken to Japan as I heard everyday reports about murders including news of parents killing their children and vice versa and that the dead bodies of the elders who had been living without any support were discovered a few months later with the time and cause of their death remaining unknown. All these facts made me fear that if I had stayed in such country any longer, I might have died even before having the chance to reunite with my children. When Japanese officials asked me if I had an intention to bring my children to Japan, I said no to them and told them that I should go back to the DPRK. I finally decided to go back to it after making up my mind to do so several times, thinking that even if I am to breathe my last, I should die by the side of my children.

If anyone's interested, the Japanese story was that she fled the DPRK on her own, and decided to return only after DPRK agents threatened her family if she didn't. They no doubt promised she would be allowed to return to a normal life, which is a rather unlikely outcome for anyone who dares leave Kim's workers' paradise.

...and once she was safely back in the beloved homeland, and the camera lights had gone out, she was spirited away to a forced-labour camp to be raped and tortured in the name of political "reeducation" courtesy of the Dear Leader.

She was forced to tell a lie.

Now she is in the concentration camp.Or , dead.

[TimmyME]

poor woman, she is for sure dead now

[Pikapal1]

She more than likely will be executed..

Saying that Japan sucks was probably her plea to die with her family.

They threatened her children if she didn't return...sad.
