A South Korean former "comfort woman" and prominent antiwar campaigner has been found safe in the coastal town of Onagawa, Miyagi Prefecture, one of the areas hit hardest by the quake-triggered tsunami, her supporters said Sunday.
Song Shin Do, 88, the only South Korean resident in Japan who has said she was forced into prostitution during the war, was found alive and well at a local evacuation center Friday and took refuge in Tokyo on Sunday.
Her supporters in and outside of Japan, who are active in pressing the issue of sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, were worried about her safety.
