The Foreign Ministry will issue visas to three women who have been living under political asylum in North Korea due to their parents' activities in the former Red Army Faction, their support group said Wednesday.
The three are planning to come to Japan on May 15, according to the Tokyo-based Kyuen Renraku Center. The documents will be issued by the Japanese Embassy in Beijing because Japan has no diplomatic representation in North Korea.
Yukio Yamanaka, secretary general of the group, will go to the embassy to collect the documents, which were requested in December.
