SEOUL, Aug. 19 (AJU PRESS) — The mother of Megumi Yokota, a symbol of Japanese citizens abducted by North Korea decades ago, has launched a public appeal for reunification using digital displays at major train stations in and around Tokyo, Kyodo News reported Sunday.

The 15-second video, featuring a family photo and a message from 88-year-old Sakie Yokota, will be shown at Tokyo, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro and Yokohama stations from August 5 to September 1. The campaign was organized by a support group of Yokota’s neighbors.

“I would like to emphasize my desire to make sure (Megumi) is safe while I am still alive and to see her, even if just for a quick glimpse,” Sakie said, according to Asagao no Kai, the group supporting the Yokota family.

Megumi Yokota was 13 years old when she was abducted by North Korean agents in 1977. She is one of 17 Japanese citizens whom the government officially recognizes as having been abducted by North Korea in the 1970s and 1980s.

The Japanese government continues to try to bring back 12 abductees, including Megumi, who have not yet been repatriated. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is seeking a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to discuss the issue, but progress has been limited.
