In addition, police pointed out that the criminal is believed to have broken a couple of cash boxes and stolen money and important documents. This brutal case is not an unforeseen accident, but closely related to a series of verbal and physical harassment and threats to Koreans and Chongryun-affiliated organizations in Chiba Pref., which had increased in number in the past months, Chairman So said. In addition, a lot of leaflets calling for suppression and regulation of Chongryun were distributed all over Chiba Prefecture by right-wingers. We strongly urge the Japanese authorities to arrest the criminal immediately and thoroughly investigate the truth of the case and find out who was pulling the wires. According to Chongryun, several dozens of cases of assault and attack on Koreans, especially female student wearing chima chogori, traditional Korean costume, by unidentified Japanese mobsters have been reported in various places in Japan in the past one and half months.

In addition, violence to and harassment of Japanese sympathizers are getting frequent. The concert was organized by a group of volunteers, including Yasuhiko Yoshida, a professor at Saitama University. The recent outrage, which has been openly and frequently developed in Japan, reminds us of the time of 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake in which thousands of Koreans were aimlessly slaughtered, and the order for forcible dissolution of Joryon, the predecessor of Chongryun, and concentrated crackdowns on Koreans and Japanese anti-war forces in 1949, just before the Korean War started, a Chongryun official said.
