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 men. 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.
This 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.
Rest In Eternal Peace,
Junko Furuta

I literally could not finish reading through all the methods of torture they used on this woman. I couldn’t. And if I can’t even read it, I can’t imagine going through it.
These kinds of stories make me sit back and ponder the world we live in. How can humans have such a beautiful spirit on one hand and such a devilish, cruel, unfeeling, spirit-less spirit on the other hand. How?
I know an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind but this kind of thing, where a woman is violated in such an obscene manner and her captors are set free, makes me want to put aside that belief. They should suffer what she went through, times ten, if not more. But who am I to want vengeance? They’ll get what’s coming to them. If not on earth, when they pass.
