THE association representing "comfort women"
living in Australia has launched an attack on
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Co-ordinator Anna Song told The Age that Mr Abe's
comments were surprising.

"Mr Abe is not only denying his own government's
previous statements, but also ignoring the evidence
researched by UN bodies and international human
rights organisations such as Amnesty International,"
she said.

Last month Australian Jan O'Herne travelled to
Washington to tell her story before a US
Congressional hearing.

In 1944, when Mrs O'Herne was 21 and interned
in Java with her family, she and nine other young
women were taken to a house used as a brothel
by the Japanese military.
For the next three months, they were raped
repeatedly.

Next week, Friends of Comfort Women in Australia
will rally at the Japanese consulate in Sydney.
Mrs O'Herne and two other women will tell
their stories.

"If the Prime Minister and the members of his
Government have yet to hear the evidence,
we sincerely invite them to listen to the
testimonials of three comfort women survivors
from Australia, Taiwan and Korea," Ms Song said.

"We believe the Japanese Government is capable
of seeing the facts in its history and, as a result,
providing a sincere and official apology to the
survivors."
