The husband and two daughters of Hitomi Soga, one of five Japanese abducted by North Korea who are now back in Japan, have said they want her to return to Pyongyang as soon as possible, officials of a Japanese weekly magazine that interviewed the trio said Thursday.
Upon reading the article, however, Soga became upset and a support group for the abductees lashed out at the magazine for being party to North Korean propaganda.
Husband Charles Robert Jenkins, 62, a U.S. citizen, and the couple's daughters, aged 19 and 17, told Shukan Kinyobi (Weekly Friday) in an interview in the North Korean capital that they at least want her to come to Pyongyang International Airport to discuss the family's future.
