OSAKA -- Family members and supporters of Japanese abducted to North Korea vowed Wednesday to continue pressing the Japanese and North Korean governments for a full account of the kidnappings.
They also said they oppose any attempt to normalize relations with North Korea before the matter is dealt with.
The groups added they will demand an investigation into what the Japanese government, particularly the Foreign Ministry, knew about the abductions and why the government did not act sooner to press North Korea for answers.
