A schoolgirl walks past demonstrators holding banners at a rally protesting Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's remarks on "comfort woman" - Japan's euphemism for wartime sex slaves - near the parliament in Tokyo March 7, 2007. The protestors are holding banners calling on Japan to acknowledge that comfort women were coerced into serving in Japanese military brothels. Abe stirred anger in China and South Korea with remarks last week appearing to question the state's role in forcing the mostly Asian women to act as prostitutes during World War Two, although he also said the earlier apology stood. The Korean placard reads, "Prime Minister, have you ever met the victims?" [Reuters]
