Japan urged to apologize for wartime sex slaves
UN investigator Radhika Coomaraswamy called on Japan to compensate and apologize to women forced into sex slavery by Japanese troops in World War II. She described extreme inhumanity, noting women as young as 14 endured daily rapes, with as many as 60 to 70 men per day. The report cites 200,000 victims, mainly from Korea, and has been welcomed by South Korea and human rights groups.
