FILE - In this Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2009 file photo, former comfort women who served the Japanese Army as sexual slaves during World War II, shout a slogan in a rally before Korean Liberation Day of Aug. 15, which marks the end of Japanese colonial rule in 1945, in front of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul, South Korea. Japanese lawmakers met behind closed doors Friday to hear results of a probe into a study that was the basis of Japan's 1993 apology over its use of wartime sex slaves - a review that South Korea and China have slammed as an attempt to discredit historical evidence of such abuses.

Supporter Yang Chingja, second left, hands to a government official part of hundreds of pages of documents that experts say contain proof of coercion in the military-led “comfort women” sex slavery system during World War II, as former South Korean victims, Kim Bok-dong, 88, bottom left, and Lee Yong-soo, 85, center on wheelchair, and Indonesian victim Mince, 86, far back center wearing a white cap next to Yang, look on. The group demanded Prime Minister Shinzo Abe face Japan’s wartime atrocity and formally apologize. Historians who helped compile the 529 pieces of official records, collected from in and outside Japan, show clear evidence of coercion by the Japanese military and government in recruiting and running the system.
