The Japanese government says the five Japanese who were abducted decades ago by North Korean spies and are now visiting Japan ... will now stay indefinitely in their homeland. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yasuo Fukuda also strongly urged North Korea to ensure the safety of families remaining in North Korea and their early return. The abductees arrived in Tokyo last Tuesday expecting to stay no more than two weeks. But their relatives in Japan said they should not have to return to North Korea. Instead, the relatives said, Japan should force North Korea to let family members who stayed behind in North Korea join the abductees in Japan. The five are the only known survivors of 13 Japanese whom North Korea admits abducting in the 1970s and early 80s. Both the Japanese and North Korean governments have said they are free to come and go as they please.
