A monument to South Korean "comfort women" — females forced into sexual slavery during the war — was set up in front of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul on Dec. 14 despite protests by Tokyo. The so-called Peace Monument was unveiled on the occasion of the 1,000th weekly demonstration by the now-elderly women and their supporters calling for an apology and compensation from the Japanese government. Tokyo had asked Seoul to block the monument's placement outside the embassy, but the request was refused. (Kyodo News)
