Comfort women weren't coerced, Japanese PM suggests

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Thursday there is no evidence Japan coerced Asian women into working as sex slaves during the Second World War, backtracking from a landmark 1993 government statement acknowledging that tens of thousands of women were forced into prostitution for the military.

Abe's comments to reporters came as a group of ruling party legislators urged the government to revise the so-called Kono Statement acknowledging that Japan's wartime military sometimes used coercion to recruit women to work in the brothels.
