Abductions in Japan

Regarding the article "Abductions energize Japan right" (Dec. 18): Abduction of Japanese citizens by North Korea is not a pretext for political manipulation. This is about rescuing our citizens.

Many Japanese abductees have been incarcerated in North Korea for nearly 30 years and deprived of all freedom. They deserve all possible support to regain their freedom and dignity. It is our duty to retrieve them.

And abduction is very much an ongoing problem. Only 5 abductees were repatriated in 2002, and North Korea has failed to provide any convincing evidence to support its claim that the remaining Japanese abductees have died or never entered their country.

The recent UN General Assembly resolution on the human-rights situation in North Korea is testimony to increasing international awareness of the need to resolve this issue.
