SEOUL, South Korea -- A South Korean activist scaled a wall of the Japanese Embassy on Wednesday and staged a brief protest of Tokyo's refusal to acknowledge it forced Korean and Chinese women to work as sex slaves during World War II.
Oh Sung-taek stomped on a Japanese flag and shouted anti-Japanese slogans for 10 minutes atop one of the buildings before he was removed by police, witnesses and a police officer said. He wore a placard with a picture of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe that read: "Destroy History Distortion."

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe triggered outrage across Asia earlier this month by saying there was no proof the women, including some Australians, were coerced into prostitution. He later said Japan will not apologize again for the military's "comfort stations."
Oh was among 100 protesters gathered outside the embassy for a rally that has been held every Wednesday since 1992 to demand that Japan apologize and compensate World War II sex slaves, also called "comfort women" for Japanese troops.
The turnout was larger than usual because of Abe's recent insistence that there is no evidence Japan forced women to work in wartime military brothels. On Friday, Japan's Cabinet issued a statement repeating the claim.
Historians say about 200,000 women, mostly from Korea and China, worked in Japanese military brothels throughout Asia in the 1930s and '40s. Many victims say they were kidnapped and forced into sexual slavery by Japanese troops.
Japan ruled the Korean peninsula as a colony in 1910-45 before it was divided into the South and North. Many Koreans still harbor resentment toward Japan's occupation.
