souls of all american people that were lost during world war ii. >> reporter: it's been almost 70 years since the japanese surrendered. the remaining women and now children and grandchildren say it's time for japan to make amends. >> translator: now abe is denyinglying and denying history and our just. >> roxana saberi, al jazeera. >> to put this into context we turn to california representative mike honda he last long called for an official apology. i asked him why an official apology matters. >> the reason why it's important today is because human trafficking and violence against
9:22 pm
women went on then and it's going on now and continues in the future if we don't stop it. and prime minister abe has -- would have had a beautiful moral ground to stand on by saying i accept on behalf of the japanese government the full responsibility and unequivocally apologize to the victims of our military sexual slave system. >> congressman the prime minister talked about being deeply pained this week about what happened to the comfort women. that doesn't go far enough for you though. >> well, he says he was deeply pained by the sufferings of the women who were victimized by human trafficking. well at least he recognized that there was pain. but the victimization was done by the military system during the '30s and '40s and the idea that it was human trafficking he admits it was human trafficking if he wants to be a leader in

eliminating violence against women and trafficking against women today and tomorrow then he has to recognize that he has a responsibility to fully apologize and accept the responsibility of his government what they did during world war ii in the '30s. on top of that, he's eliminated that information from the textbooks so young sisters youngsters don't learn it and they have a japanese community that don't learn about it, that's two generations of folks and that's not right. >> you had one of those women in the chamber for the prime minister's speech. young su gi, what did it mean to have her there? >> i wanted her to be present to hear the words that prime minister abe would pronounce. even though she didn't understand english she had a

translate there and she could see how sincere he could have been or might have been, or she could have seen a miracle of history, what she calls a miracle of history happen before her eyes if he apologized fully. he talked about the generals who faced in the battle of iwo gima, the two who are former enemies today are friends now sitting listening to the miracle of history. the miracle of history he could have been part of was accepting full responsibility for what happened to these women back in the '30s and '40s. >> congressman you were mistreated by the u.s. government, you were put into an internment camp when you were a an
9:25 pm
infant. what did that apology do? >> it lifted the sense of guilt it reestablished our sense of being an american that you so correct things in this country if you fought for it. and so it revitalized our trust in the system and the process. that's why i think that prime minister abe needs to understand that whole democratic process. if he wants to be a true leader of a democratic country in a democratic society of this globe. >> all right thanks to california representative mike honda. >> south korea spy agency say north korea leader ban ki-moon might have executed a spy who resisted hiss plan of creating a building in the shape of a
