Military Madness > Nothing yet remotely resembling closure in China over Japanese army's comfort women abuse

 

In China, rare voices seek to break taboo over 'comfort women' raped by Japanese army


Asia / Pacific


REVISITED © FRANCE 24

During World War II, the Japanese imperial authorities abducted, coerced, tricked and sometimes recruited hundreds of thousands of women from Japan's colonial empire to become sexual slaves for soldiers. Sometimes minors, these women were called "comfort women" and were raped repeatedly in brothels near the front lines. With only a handful of survivors still alive in China, our reporters met one of them: 95-year-old Peng Zhuying. She is determined to share her story in a country where the subject remains taboo.

Being a "comfort woman" was long considered shameful. As a result, the exact number of victims remains unknown. Between 1932 and 1945, hundreds of thousands of women – around 200,000, according to historians – were abducted from the four corners of Japan's colonial empire. These Korean, Chinese, Taiwanese, Filipino and Indonesian women, some of them minors, were made available to Japanese soldiers in brothels near the front lines. 

Back in 1991, a 67-year-old Korean woman named Kim Hak-soon publicly shared her story of being forced to live in a military brothel as a teenager. Soldiers raped her multiple times a day. Her trailblazing testimony led to many others speaking up and eventually a civil society movement was born, focused on bringing justice to "comfort women". Decades of campaigning in South Korea means that there is now widespread awareness of what happened to the "comfort women".

Only eight known Chinese victims still alive

But in China, the issue remains taboo. Most of the victims were from rural and traditional regions, where rape has long been a shameful topic. The Chinese Communist Party also considers history to be extremely sensitive and decides top-down on how to remember the past. In state media, different facets of wartime atrocities are highlighted according to Beijing's relations with Tokyo at a given time. School textbooks barely mention the crimes. With little to no feminist activism to help approach the topic with sensitivity, the issue has often been cast aside.

The real shame is that the hundreds of thousands of women who were abused never received any support or even acknowledgment of their extraordinary suffering. Communists are such idiots to think that by rewriting history they can erase the horrors from society. Truth can never be erased.

Despite these difficulties, a handful of Chinese scholars and volunteers want the wider public to care. They have devoted their careers, and sometimes their lives, to this cause. But time is running out to collect the testimonies of rape and exploitation of these women, who are now very elderly. In June of last year, one of the last surviving victims passed away. Only eight publicly known Chinese victims are still alive.

Our reporters met one of them: 95-year-old Peng Zhuying. She was a visually impaired teenager when soldiers dragged her to a brothel and raped her repeatedly. The former "comfort woman" told FRANCE 24 about the trauma she endured. She would now like younger generations to know what happened during this painful chapter of China's history. 


Japan ordered to compensate wartime 'comfort women'

23 November 2023 - Korea


By September 2002, the Asian Women’s Fund had completed projects in the Netherlands, the Philippines, the Republic of Korea, and Taiwan, offering the atonement of the Japanese Government to victims who had been forced to become comfort women. The women also received a letter from the Japanese Prime Minister, expressing feelings of apology and remorse and the determination to ensure that such a tragedy would never occur again.

Islam Hates Girls Especially White Girls > Migrant teens get wrists slapped for brutal gang rape of Dutch woman; Islam and Child Pornography; Another kick in the stomach for Afghan women

 

From X.com

🇳🇱 A group of underaged asylum seekers brutally gang raped a 33 y/o Dutch homeless woman last year and were just sentenced to a mere 4 to 15 months in a “youth detention facility”. Fives boys, ages 15 to 18, found the woman sleeping on a bench in a park. They dragged her to a quiet spot, repeatedly gang raped her anally and vaginally, punched her in the face and stole her phone. Later that night police officers found the woman basically left for dead, bleeding, with her pants still down. The court pointed out that because the perpetrators are foreign unaccompanied minors in the Netherlands, “they still need a lot of help and guidance in functioning in Dutch society” and proceeded to sentence them under juvenile law for sentences between 4 and 15 months. So there you go: No deportation, nothing. Just 15 months of playing board games, receiving an education and staying at a detention center for about a year and then they’ll be back on track to receive their Dutch citizenship as if nothing ever happened. All paid for by Dutch taxpayers, of course. As I point out all the time: our judicial system is deeply corrupt and rotten. You can vote for change all you want but as long as our judiciary isn’t fixed, this is what we’re left with.

10 to 12 years of criminal imprisonment required

for the rape of a teenager in a squat in Aubagne

Translated from “10 à 12 ans de réclusion criminelle requis pour le viol d’une adolescente dans un squat à Aubagne,” by Marguerite Dégez, La Provence, January 14, 2025 (thanks to Medforth):

After a day and a half of trial, the attorney general of the departmental criminal court Sylvaine Schumacher requested late this morning on Tuesday, January 14, the conviction of El Bachir Rahmouni and a sentence of 10 to 12 years of criminal imprisonment and a permanent ban from French territory.

The attorney general Sylvaine Schumacher highlighted the credibility of the complainant, aged 17 at the time of the events, on November 7, 2021, and her “courage” in coming to testify. On the other side of the bar, the multiple contradictions of the accused, El Bachir Rahmouni, convinced the prosecution of his guilt. His lawyer, referring to “the weight of tradition,” argued that the teenager had consensual relations, but not assumed.

The moment of truth is approaching for El Bachir Rahmouni. This 29-year-old Algerian has been on trial since Monday, January 13, by the criminal court of Bouches-du-Rhône for rape. On November 7, 2021, he allegedly gained the trust of Neïla, a 17-year-old runaway, and took her to a sordid squat in Aubagne, where, according to the young girl’s statements, he raped her with great brutality. She was found by the police the next day, and immediately reported a traumatic scene, corroborated by the medical examinations carried out on her.

After denying sexual relations, the accused admitted to consensual intercourse
After a day and a half of trial, the attorney general of the departmental criminal court, Sylvaine Schumacher, therefore requested late Tuesday morning, January 14, the conviction of El Bachir Rahmouni and a sentence of 10 to 12 years of criminal imprisonment and a permanent ban from French territory.

Describing “a predator”, the “very opportunistic act of someone who managed to target a victim who was somewhat vulnerable because of her situation and personality and who will allow himself to act without taking into account what she may want and feel”, she weighed up against her many contradictions, “the consistency” of those of Neïla, despite rare inconsistencies attributed to a phenomenon of dissociation common in rape cases, and her “courage” in the dock. The “very serious consequences” for her, too.

When the requisitions were read out, the accused collapsed into loud sobs, before falling in the dock, trying to vomit, moaning. Interrupting his lawyer, Me Said Benhamed, who had just started his plea. A ten-minute suspension was ordered, the council continued. Me Said Benhamed, who argued for acquittal, put forward “the weight of traditions” to justify the hypothesis of a complainant who would have consented, but would not have been able to “assume in front of her family”.

Verdict expected at the end of the day
A theory accredited in particular, according to him, by the fact that the young woman did not file a complaint immediately, that she remembered fellatio late in the day, that she accompanied her supposed attacker back to Marseille without visible constraint on the video surveillance images. The five professional judges of the departmental criminal court retired early in the afternoon to deliberate. Their verdict is expected by the end of the day.

No updates on the verdict are available.




 

France: Man reads Qur’an, converts to Islam, spreads jihad propaganda and child pornography


Here yet again, we see a convert to Islam get the idea that his new religion requires him to commit acts of violence against those who don’t hold the same beliefs.

As for the child pornography, could this man’s interest in this have something to do with Islam’s sexualization of children?

There's a saying that, 'morality dictates theology'. Did this young pervert find a religion that supported his moral obtuseness?

Turkey’s directorate of religious affairs (Diyanet) said in January 2018 that under Islamic law, girls as young as nine can marry.

“Islam has no age barrier in marriage and Muslims have no apology for those who refuse to accept this” — Ishaq Akintola, professor of Islamic Eschatology and Director of Muslim Rights Concern, Nigeria

“There is no minimum marriage age for either men or women in Islamic law. The law in many countries permits girls to marry only from the age of 18. This is arbitrary legislation, not Islamic law.” — Dr. Abd Al-Hamid Al-‘Ubeidi, Iraqi expert on Islamic law

There is no minimum age for marriage and that girls can be married “even if they are in the cradle.” — Dr. Salih bin Fawzan, prominent cleric and member of Saudi Arabia’s highest religious council

“Islam does not forbid marriage of young children.” — Pakistan’s Council of Islamic Ideology



Glorification of terrorism and child pornography:

a 22-year-old man sentenced

translated from “Apologie du terrorisme et pédopornographie : un jeune homme de 22 ans condamné,” by Achille Herry, DNA, January 10, 2025 (thanks to Medforth):

A 22-year-old man of Russian origin and resident of Durningen, had multiple Telegram channels where he spread jihadist propaganda and incited terrorist acts, between 2023 and 2024. He also had more than 1,500 child pornography files. He was tried before the Strasbourg Criminal Court on Thursday, January 9.

His youthful face, curly hair and sad demeanor do nothing to detract from the seriousness of the facts he is accused of. This 22-year-old, who left Russia at the age of eight with his mother to settle in France, has nurtured a sustained and dangerous online jihadist activity. His radicalization began about six years ago. His indoctrination took place slowly, far from his Orthodox baptism. He first read the Koran, then converted, before choosing a Muslim first name. He began viewing radical content on TikTok to deepen his so-called religious knowledge. He developed a taste for the songs of the Islamic State, listening to them from morning to night. He then planned to go to an Islamic land to become a fighter and calls for massacres.

A follower of the ideology of the Islamic State

He was quickly spotted by investigators from the General Directorate for Internal Security (DGSI) for having posted a quantity of content…



In devout Islam, women must be invisible and silent. Because devout Muslim men lose all self-control if they see a woman or hear her voice, even on TV or radio.


Taliban bans women from being TV presenters – media


The Afghan group has said that female voices on television are “provoking men,” according to Hasht-e Subh newspaper
Taliban bans women from being TV presenters – media











Taliban officials in Afghanistan have barred women from working as presenters or hosts on television, local media has reported.

The order was issued by the Taliban’s Directorate for Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, Hasht-e Subh newspaper claimed on Wednesday, citing sources in the northwestern Herat Province. It is not clear if the ban only applies to Herat or to the whole country.

The group’s officials explained the move by saying that female voices on TV are “provoking men,” the sources said. The directorate warned media outlets to strictly follow its new decree, they added.

There have so far been no official comments on the report from the Taliban government.

Previously, Afghan females were allowed to work as presenters on television, but they had to cover their body and face, and could not appear on screen together with men.

On Friday, Hasht-e Subh reported that the Taliban authorities forbade women from hosting radio shows in Badghis Province, which borders Herat.

Since deposing the US-backed Afghan government in 2021, the Taliban imposed dozens of restrictions on women, who are now told to cover all parts of their bodies and are prohibited from working with men, studying at universities and schools after the sixth grade, traveling alone, talking loudly in public places, including with other females.

Last August, the group introduced the Law for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, which banned depicting living beings in visual and printed media in most provinces. It allows the Taliban to prevent the publication of any content that includes such imagery.

Afghanistan has even banned women from looking out

 their kitchen windows, lest a man accidentally see her.

Self-control is a virtue in Christianity but not, apparently, in Islam.
