Meeting with the abductee family UN representative “I want to help” December 4, 4:25
A UN official who is investigating the human rights situation in North Korea met with the family of the abductees in Tokyo on the night of March 3 and expressed their intention to continue to cooperate with the victims to return home.
The UN special rapporteur, who is in charge of investigating the human rights situation in North Korea, is visiting Japan for information gathering for a report at the Human Rights Council in March next year. We met Takuya and other 7 abductee families.
In this, Mr. Quintana said, “The role of the Special Rapporteur is to focus on the suffering of the victim's family who wants to“ return their loved family and regain their memories. To uncover the truth. ” I want to help myself to realize the goals of the victim's family. "
On the other hand, Takuya Yokota said, “The international community needs to urge North Korea at the point of human rights. Many abductees continue to be detained by North Korea. "I have been faking the remains of the fake bones, and this is the curtain of the problem. I must not forgive such a terrible thing. I would like to ask for your help so that I can reunite with my family."
The meeting lasted for about an hour, and Takuya Yokota said, “We told the victims' family policy that the most important thing is to make all the abductees return home as soon as possible. I hope that the Government of Japan will also present a concrete plan that will help resolve this human rights issue. ”
