Since former Korean Comfort women, identified themselves
ten years ago, are demonstrating every Wednesday in front of the Japanese
Embassy in Seoul demanding for the truth to be revealed and for an official
apology from the Japanese government. The 500th such demonstration was
held on Wednesday March 13, 2002.
I reported on the former comfort women issue in Seoul,
which is considered as a past disgrace by the Korean citizens.
Sky was clear in Seoul. We were in front of the Japanese
Embassy. Six women, who were forced to serve as sex slaves (former-comfort
women) by the Japanese Imperial Army,

were in a black microbus passing through
heavy traffic in Seoul and reached the narrow street leading to the
Japanese Embassy. As expected, approximately thirty mobile police in
black uniform, were blocking the street by forming barriers.
