S. Koreans hold protest rally in front of Japanese embassy

SEOUL, South Korea - About 50 former South Korean sex slaves, called ''comfort women'' in Japan, and their supporters hold a rally in front of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul on July 11 to protest Japan's refusal to revise school history textbooks that critics say justify Japan's wartime atrocities. At the rally, protesters called for measures to be taken against Japan such as a campaign to boycott Japanese goods and breaking off cultural exchanges.
