Former South Korean sex slave Kim Yong Suk (2nd R) arrives at a conference hall with her supporters to attend a mock trial in Tokyo December 7, 2000. Frustrated by a string of failed lawsuits brought by women forced to work as sex slaves for Japan's army in the 1930s and 1940s, activists are taking the issue to the public through a mock trial in Tokyo. The event, which starts with a ceremony later on Thursday, comes just days after Japanese courts rejected lawsuits brought by former sex slaves demanding compensation and apologies.
