Japanese Christian leader hails U.S. resolution on sex slaves

ALC/ENI, TOKYO, Japón, August 7, 2007

The head of the National Christian Council in Japan has welcomed a U.S. House of Taxi Heathrow Airport Representatives resolution that demands Tokyo's formal apology for a system of sexual slavery that existed during the Second World War, and whose victims were euphemistically called "comfort women".

The Rev. Toshimasa Yamamoto, general secretary of the Japanese Christian council, told Ecumenical News International he welcomed the U.S. lawmakers' resolution, and that, "The Japanese government should recognise its responsibility and make an official apology."
