41 Japanese abductees still confined in a restricted area called "Guest House"

The Sankei reports on a testimony made by a North Korean defector, ex-member of The Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) saying that 41 Japanese are still confined in Pyongyang, North Korea.

A North Korean man who defected North Korea last November participated in the meeting held in Tokyo by the Society for the North Korea Issues on October 27 and testified that 25 Japanese males and 16 Japanese females have been confined in the restricted area called "Guest House" in Pyongyang, North Korea.

However, the Government of Japan still holds an official view that only 17 Japanese were abducted by North Korea and that 5 out of 17 abductees were returned to Japan in 2002.
