The weekly "Wednesday rally" near the Japanese embassy in South Korea will be held as usual in Seoul today,... despite the recent passing of Kim Bok-dong, a former "comfort woman" and well-known activist for the victims.
The rally, which marks its 27th anniversary this year,... calls for Tokyo's official apology and due compensation to the Korean victims of its wartime sexual enslavement.
The Korean Council for Justice and Remembrance for the Issues of Military Sexual Slavery by Japan says the participants will take a moment to cherish the memory of Kim and all the other victims who have died recently.
