Tokyo Escorts: Tokyo’s Dokdo Claim Irks Koreans

A group of Koreans and members of a “patriots’ group” rallied Thursday against a recent decision by Tokyo to claim Dokdo, Korea’s easternmost islets, as part of its territory in school textbooks, condemning Japan for indoctrinating its students with false historical claims.
In the demonstration held in front of the Japanese Embassy in downtown Seoul, Cho Young-soon, the head of the Seoul Young Korean Academy (YKA), said that Japan should withdraw its approval of elementary school textbooks describing Dokdo as its territory. The group was founded by an independence movement leader during the Japanese colonial period.

Other than the Dokdo issue, the Japanese Embassy in Seoul is a place of protest by former comfort women. A group of the women forced by Japan into prostitution during World War II has been holding rallies requesting an official apology every Wednesday.
