TOPSHOTS A demonstrator displays a placard as the group demands an apology from Japan over the comfort women issue during a rally in front the Japan Interchange Association in Taipei on August 14, 2013. Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou last December urged Japan to apologise for using Taiwanese women as sex slaves during World War II. Historians say up to 200,000 young women, mostly from Korea but also from China, Indonesia, the Philippines and Taiwan, were forced to serve as "comfort women" or sex slaves in Japanese army brothels.
