GJA North Korean woman who claims to have been forcibly taken to Japan in 2003 said Tuesday she was returning to North Korea after living unhappily in Japan for more than three and a half years.
To Chu Ji, 57, said at a press conference at the North Korean Embassy in Beijing that she was born in the Japanese city Kawasaki, but she returned to North Korea in 1960 with her parents.
She gave a Korean name for her father and a Japanese name for her mother, but did not clarify their nationalities.
To said she was "cheated by bad people" in October 2003, crossed the Tumen River border between China and North Korea, and was "forcibly taken" in a jeep by people waiting on the Chinese side.
She did not specify who the people were, or their nationalities.
After entering China, she said she spent some time in the Japanese Consulate General in Shengyang before going to Japan.
She said she lived in Matsudo, Chiba Prefecture, since November 2003 until she left Japan last week.
To said she was returning to North Korea because she missed her five children and because she was unhappy in Japan, whose society she described as being "cold, almost like ice."..
