South Koreans march with coffin in 'comfort women' protest at Japan embassy

SEOUL - South Korean protesters marched alongside the coffin of a "comfort women" campaigner to the Japanese embassy on Friday (Feb 1) in a protest over Japan's use of forced labour in its wartime brothels.

A hearse carried the casket of Madam Kim Bok-dong, who died this week, to the embassy to highlight the plight of comfort women, a Japanese euphemism for women who were forced into prostitution and sexually abused at Japanese military brothels before and during World War II.
