Truth about Japan

This morning Ms. Hiroko Tabuchi of NY Times answered my question about the definition of "sexual slavery". Sexual slavery as understood by the Rome Statute on crimes against humanity: "Sexual slavery is a particular form of enslavement.. — Hiroko Tabuchi (@HirokoTabuchi) Sept 13, 2014 She means Rome Statute of the International Crime Court. In the Article 7, "Crimes against humanity", it is written (g) Rape, sexual slavery , enforced prostitution, forced pregnancy, enforced sterilization, or any other form of sexual violence of comparable gravity; Sexual slavery is a special case of enslavement.

No official documents were found that directly showed forcible taking away by the military on the Korean Peninsula and Taiwan　[...] No documents have been found that show the military systematically taking away women like kidnappers. Could you read English, Mr. Ennis?
