South Korean news service Money Today reported Thursday the demonstrations of the Korean Council for Justice and Remembrance for the Issues of Military Sexual Slavery are increasingly the target of counter-protesters, following misappropriation allegations against the council’s founder and new lawmaker Yoon Mi-hyang.
Lee Yong-soo, the former “comfort woman” who had said she and other victims of Japanese wartime brothels were used as a front for Yoon’s donation drives, had pleaded to demonstrators to not turn the comfort women rallies into a political battleground, according to Money Today.
