Another victim of Japan’s wartime sex slavery dies

 A South Korean woman who was forced into sexual slavery for the Japanese imperial army during World War II died Sunday, another sign that time is running out for the aging victims to receive an apology and due compensation, a civic group said.

Bae Chun-hee died at age 91, according to the House of Sharing, which runs a shelter for victims of Japan’s sexual enslavement.

Her death leaves only 54 surviving victims of one of the most serious wartime crimes by Japan. Initially, 237 women were on the list of government-registered former sex slaves.
