Honda warns Japan not to revisit 1993 apology to comfort women
Seoul - Yonhap
Japan's Shinzo Abe administration should not seek to re-examine a 1993 apology Tokyo made to Korean and other Asian women forced to serve as sex slaves for Japanese troops during World War II, a senior U.S. congressman said Wednesday. Rep. Mike Honda (D-CA), a tireless champion of human rights and justice for the victims, described the Abe government's reported move to revisit the Kono Statement as a "mistake." Then-Chief Cabinet Secretary Yohei Kono issued the statement for the first time acknowledging the Japanese military was at least indirectly involved in coercing women into sexual servitude.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.
