AP(WaPo):日本の首相は従軍慰安婦の強制性を否定

Historians say that about 200,000 women -- mostly from Korea and China -- served in
Japanese military brothels throughout Asia in the 1930s and 1940s. Many women say
they were kidnapped and forced into sexual slavery by Japanese troops.

But Abe, who since taking office in September has promoted patriotism in Japan's
schools and a more assertive foreign policy, told reporters that "there is no
evidence to prove there was coercion"

His remarks contradicted evidence in Japanese documents unearthed in 1992 that
historians said showed that military authorities had a direct role in working with
contractors to forcibly procure women for the brothels.

The documents, which are backed up by accounts from soldiers and victims, said
Japanese authorities set up the brothels in response to uncontrolled rape sprees
by invading Japanese soldiers in East Asia.

これもAPの記事で、記者が違うけれど内容は他の記事と同工異曲。1992年発見の証拠云々
と言う部分がまったく同じで、活動団体の入れ知恵ではないかと思われる歪曲。活動団体
の宣伝記事になっている。

外務省が事実関係を争わないという姿勢であるので、活動家らが、それをいいことに勝手な
証拠を言い募っている。外務省の公的態度はともかく、広報宣伝戦略がなさ杉で惨めと思え
