Abductions of Japanese citizens from Japan by agents of the North Korean government took place during a period of six years from 1977 to 1983.[1] Although only 17 Japanese citizens (eight men and nine women) are officially recognized by the Japanese government as having been abducted,[2] there may have been hundreds of others.[3] The North Korean government has officially admitted to abducting 13 Japanese citizens.[4][5]

There are testimonies that many non-Japanese citizens, including eight citizens from European countries and one from the Middle East,[6] have been abducted by North Korea.[7]
