In US, 'comfort woman' seeks Japanese apology

Korean Lee Yong-Soo was forced into sexual slavery serving Japan's imperial army. Seventy years later, with Japan's prime minister preparing a historic address to the US Congress, she demands just one thing: an apology.

"Abe is lying and denying all the history of truth," an emotional Lee said at a news conference on Capitol Hill on Thursday. "I want to stand before him as a living witness of history."

Abe, whose attitude toward history has drawn strong criticism from countries including China and South Korea, is scheduled to visit the United States next week.
