SEOUL, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) -- South Korean prosecutors on Wednesday summoned aJapanese right-wing activist accused of defaming Korean women who were forced intosexual slavery by the Japanese military during World War II.
The move came after surviving wartime sex slaves sued 47-year- old Nobuyuki Suzukilast month for defamation for tying a wooden stake to a symbolic statue of a youngKorean woman, a monument to the victims of forced sexual slavery.
The statue, erected last year opposite the Japanese Embassy in central Seoul, hasdrawn protests from Japanese politicians and rightists.
The wooden post read "Takeshima is Japanese territory,"in reference to a set of SouthKorea-controlled islets at the center of the decades-long territorial dispute between thetwo Asian neighbors. The islets are known here as Dokdo.
