Relatives of Japanese in N. Korea waiting for their return

Photo taken June 30, 2015, shows Kazuko Taguchi, who is still awaiting her sister Yasuko's return to Japan from North Korea. She said the government has to find a way to have Japanese citizens in the North return home as soon as possible. Pyongyang has told Tokyo that it needs more time to complete its latest round of investigations into the fates of Japanese, including those abducted decades ago and those married with North Koreans like Yasuko Taguchi, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said on July 3.
