| Suspected Abduction Case of Two Japanese Males in Europe |
|

|
|
| Two Japanese males, Mr. ISHIOKA Toru and Mr. MATSUKI Kaoru, went missing while they were staying in Europe in 1980.
Later, Mr. ISHIOKA Toru’s family in Japan received a letter from him that was sent from Poland in August 1988. In the letter he wrote that he had been staying in North Korea with Mr. MATSUKI Kaoru, and Ms. ARIMOTO Keiko, a Japanese female.
It was the first but last news from them and their whereabouts have never been confirmed since.
The police carried out investigations in the matter, including interviews with the people concerned and information exchange with relevant foreign authorities, and they concluded that the three people were abducted by North Korean agents, taken to North Korea, and still remain captive in the country.

KURODA, the former family name) Sakiko, both wives of the "Yodo-go" hijackers, had them placed on Interpol’s wanted list, and have consistently demanded through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for their immediate extradition from North Korea.
