Asian sex slavery row spreads to Netherlands
According to a news report in the Netherlands, Dutch Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen yesterday called the Japanese ambassador in The Hague to account on his government's position that there is no evidence that Asian women were forced to be sex slaves during the Second World War. Soon after the fall of Singapore on 15 Feb, 1942, Imperial Japan's forces defeated the Dutch in Indonesia (then called Dutch East Indies) during the Pacific War.Japanese professor calls Abe’s historical stance ‘bizarre’

I would recommend that you put a short caption on the picture yg u post.

Dear wisconsin_avenue,
Why was the Japanese auhorities take prompt actions against its soldiers who raped Dutch or other European women while allowing thousands of fellow Asian women in the Korean Peninsula, China, the Philippines, Vietna, Thailand, Malaya and Indonesians continued to be dehumanised as 'comfort women' and sex slaves. Wasn't that not RACISM of the highest order?!
Please sign, support and spread the news about the petition to support Comfort Women House Resolution 121-1H in Congress.
It is a statement expressing Japan’s need to take responsiblity, make formal apologies to the 200,000 Comfort Women and their families, pay compenation and give them their much earned place in history.
