- When the accord for compensation was arrived, the matter such as "comfort
- women" was never discussed. How could it have been, since such was only
- acknowledged after incontestable facts were presented but a few years ago?
- I believe the compensation talk was carried out by Kim Jong-Pil and then
- Japanese prime minister in 1964.
-
- What about the compensation for the Koreans who were brought into Japan
- during the colonial period against their will? How were they compensated
- for? If "proper and moral gesture" is denial of citizenship and
- forced finger printing, then I have nothing more to say.
