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.

In this Thursday, June 12, 2014 photo, a morgue attendant stands before a corpse at the hospital morgue in Spanish Town, Jamaica.
