Ex-comfort woman listens to Abe' speech at U.S. Congress

Lee Yong Soo of South Korea, an 86-year-old former "comfort woman," a euphemism for women forced to work in wartime Japanese military brothels, visits the U.S. Congress in Washington to listen to a speech by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at a joint session on April 29, 2015. Abe said he will stick to statements by his predecessors expressing "deep remorse" over Japan's wartime behavior, although he did not offer a straightforward apology for its wartime aggression.
