Speakers at the rally accused Japanese Prime Minister Noda of making such reckless remarks as concealing Japan's crimes and negating its historic facts, claiming that there is no evidence proving the Imperial Japanese Army's forcible drafting of Korean women.

They demanded the prime minister and ultra-right elements immediately apologize for having evaded the responsibility for Japan's sexual slavery and letting loose outbursts against humanity.

The council issued a statement in denunciation of the prime minister's reckless remarks on Aug. 28.

The statement termed remarks made by Noda to cover up Japan's past sexual slavery a foolish behavior to write off its crimes against humanity.

Japan will remain a disgraceful pronoun in human history as it has made no apology for its monstrous crimes, it said, urging Japan to fulfil its legal responsibility for redeeming its past crimes.
