44 days of torture

         
         Imagine yourself being kidnapped by a group of young men, being raped for over 400 times by different men, eat cockroaches and drink urine in order to survive, being burned with cigarette lighters and being beaten countless times.  These are some of the tortures Junko Furuta had faced in her 44 days of torture.  Here are some of her painful experiences:

DAY 1: November 22, 1988: Kidnapped
Kept captive in house, and posed as one of boy’s girlfriend
Raped (over 400 times in total)
Forced to call her parents and tell them she had run away

Hands tied to ceiling and body used as a punching bag
Nose filled with so much blood that she can only breathe through her mouth
Dumbbells dropped onto her stomach
Vomited when tried to drink water (her stomach couldn’t accept it)
Tried to escape and punished by cigarette burning on arms
Flammable liquid poured on her feet and legs, then lit on fire

DAY 40: Begged her torturers to “kill her and get it over with”
January 1, 1989: Junko greets the New Years Day alone
Body mutilated
Unable to move from the ground


DAY 44: January 4, 1989: The four boys beat her mutilated body with an iron barbell, using a loss at the game of Mah-jongg as a pretext. She is profusely bleeding from her mouth and nose. They put a candle’s flame to her face and eyes.

          Then, lighter fluid was poured onto her legs, arms, face and stomach, and then lit on fire. This final torture lasted for a time of two hours.
Junko Furuta died later that day, in pain and alone. Nothing could compare 44 days of suffering she had to go through.

          When her mother heard the news and details of what had happened to her daughter, she fainted. She had to undergo a psychiatric outpatient treatment. Imagine her endless pain.

          Her killers are now free. Justice was never served, not even after 20 years. They deserve a punishment much greater than they had put upon Furuta, for putting an innocent girl through the most unbearable suffering.

        There is a manga version of this story called 17 sai. It is an on-going episode. I hope that her story won’t happen to any of us.  It is so brutal, unimaginable and unbearable experience.  

             To those people who are planning to do something awful like this, please don’t even attempt to it.  Don’t humiliate yourself.  Wake up! This is not you.  This is not what God wants you to do.  Your more of it, you can do something good, be a help to the community not a burden to be carried upon.

          For people who are involved to any crime, please speak up.  Let your conscience over rule you.  You need to pay for the consequences you have done.  Surrender to the authorities.  Pay for what you have done.  You need to take responsibility out of it.

          For people who have witnessed a crime, don’t be afraid to speak for the truth even if it endangers your life.  Maybe God has put you in that situation in order for you to help the victim or be a witness in order for her to achieve justice. 

          To all of us, let us pray not just for the soul of Junko Furuta but also to other souls badly need our prayers.  Let us pray that their souls may rest in peace together with God.  Let us also pray to their families to give them strength.  Lastly, to pray to the criminals to surrender themselves to the authorities and to our Almighty, to humbly ask forgiveness, and pay for what they have done.  Be a responsible citizen, be alert and always be faithful to God.

          This is a true story from 1989 is true. Please spread her story around. Everyone should know about the existence of Junko Furuta’s unimaginable and incomprehensible suffering, and this is why this group has been made.
Invite your friends. Never let her story be forgotten. If this story changes the life of at least one person then it has been worth it.
