Pyongyang, August 13 (KCNA) -- It has been 77 years since Korea was liberated from Japan's colonial rule on August 15, 1945.
But the Korean people never forget the thrice-cursed crimes committed by Japan.
After occupying Korea by force, the Japanese imperialists had reduced it to their colony by continuously fabricating illegal brigandish treaties like the "Ulsa Five-point Treaty". Therefore, the Korean people suffered from all kinds of troubles, contempt, exploitation and plunder under their colonial rule.
During the occupation of Korea, the Japanese imperialists massacred more than a million Korean people and committed unpardonable atrocities by reducing more than 200 000 Korean women to sexual slaves for the Japanese army.
They forcibly drafted and kidnapped more than 8.4 million young Koreans to force them into mediaeval slave labor and use them as cannon fodder.
They plundered a fabulous amount of underground resources and almost produce and even brass tableware of the Korean people.
Touting "oneness of Japan and Korea" and "the Japanese and the Korean are of the same ancestry", the Japanese imperialists also burnt up hundreds of thousands of books to obliterate the long history of the Korean nation, destroyed and looted hundreds of thousands of national treasures, historical relics and sites, and even tried to deprive Koreans of their surnames, names, words and letters. It was the most heinous crime to obliterate the Korean nation.
The above-said crimes committed by the Japanese imperialists during their colonial rule are unprecedented extra-large state-sponsored ones.
It is the unshakable will of the Korean people to make Japan pay dearly for the past crimes and avenge them. -0-
