Comfort women statue terror attack: ”Japanese man absent from trial for 13 years... 27th time in first trial alone” = South Korea

It has been confirmed that the Japanese man who committed the "stake terrorism" against the comfort women statue in South Korea has been absent for 13 years, and that the first hearing alone was the 27th.
The Seoul Central District Court Criminal Division 1 will hold the first hearing of the defendant, Nobuyuki Suzuki (60), who was indicted on charges of defamation on the 12th.
However, due to the defendant's absence, the trial was postponed to the 30th of next month. In June 2012, Suzuki wrote a letter to the "Statue of Peace" in front of the former Japanese Embassy in Seoul's Jongno district saying, "Takeshima is Japanese territory."
He is accused of defaming victims of Japanese military comfort women by attaching a stake with the words "I am yours" to it. He is also suspected of committing a similar crime at the memorial to martyr Yun Bong-gil.
Defendant Suzuki was given an indictment without detention in February 2013 and was summoned to appear in court for more than 20 times, but he has not appeared in court even once in the 13 years since the first hearing in September of the same year.
Furthermore, in May 2015, Suzuki traveled from Japan to the War and Women's Human Rights Museum in Mapo-gu, Seoul, and the House of Sharing, a support facility for Japanese military comfort women in Gyeonggi-do.
He was also charged with sending a model of a statue of a girl that insults comfort women victims via international mail. In addition, Suzuki wrote on his blog, "A statue of a prostitute for the Japanese military has been erected in front of the Japanese Embassy.
It was confirmed that the article stated, "We should let the world know that the Japanese people are furious about what has been done to them, expose South Korea's lies, and restore Japan's honor."
The Japanese government has reportedly not responded to the South Korean Ministry of Justice's request for extradition.
Suzuki's trial has been postponed again to the 30th of next month. Meanwhile, Suzuki has been accused of violating the South Korean parliament's ruling and opposition parties' laws on Liberation Day in 2016.
When they visited Takeshima (known as Liancourt Rocks in Korea), they reported them to the police for "illegal entry" and claimed that they would be prevented from entering Japan.
The Japanese National Party, to which he belongs, plans to post a message saying "I have not yet reached the age of 50" on the exterior wall of the accommodation for the Korean team at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
In protest against the hanging of a banner stating "You remain with the support and encouragement of 20 million people," they staged a surprise demonstration in the athletes' village, hoisting the Rising Sun flag, a war criminal flag.
