JAPAN-WWII-HISTORY-SEX

Japanese police confront a man (2nd R) holding a "Rising Sun" flag near where former "comfort women" and their supporters are staging a demonstration near the Diet, or parliament, in Tokyo on June 2, 2014 to demand that Japan formally atone for forcing women into sexual slavery in its wartime military brothels. The Asian Solidarity Conference, which met starting from May 31 in Tokyo, has been held 12 times since 1992 to press the Japanese government to admit responsibility for allegedly coercing thousands of women into providing sex to Japanese imperial army soldiers across the region.
