　　The self-immolation came during a regular demonstration calling for Japan to apologize for forcing Korean women to work as sex slaves in military brothels during World War II. The rally is hosted by the Korean Council for Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by Japan every Wednesday. The group has been doing this since the 1990s.

　　韩国47位慰安妇幸存者中，有3名也参加了当天的集会。

　　Three out of the 47 known surviving Korean sex slaves also attended Wednesday's demonstration.

　　韩国抗议者称，他们希望政府能够主动出击，阐明过去的事件，他们希望日本方面能够承认他们的所作所为确实是错的，但是日本方面一直予以否认。

　　"We want our government to be proactive and clarify past affairs. It is not that we're protesting because we're hungry. Why is it wrong when we are trying to make them (Japanese) admit their wrongdoings when they've actually done them but are denying it."

　　因正值世界反法西斯战争胜利70周年纪念之际，抗议活动规模空前，有将近2000名抗议者。

　　With the anniversary looming, the protest was larger than usual, with about 2,000 demonstrators.
