[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-gi] As the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) rapidly spreads, the Wednesday Demonstration demanding an official apology and compensation from the Japanese government regarding the issue of Japanese military comfort women will be held online.

The Justice and Memory Solidarity, which hosts the "Regular Wednesday Demonstration for the Resolution of the Japanese Military Sexual Slavery Issue," announced on the 21st through their Facebook page, "COVID-19 is spreading rapidly, raising concerns about citizens' health," and requested, "Please join the 1,428th Wednesday Demonstration to be held on Wednesday the 26th via Facebook Live."

A representative of Justice and Memory Solidarity stated, "Unlike previous Wednesday Demonstrations planned as mass rallies involving citizens, about 10 activists from the organization will read statements and shout slogans in front of the former Japanese Embassy, and this will be broadcast live."

They added, "Given the serious COVID-19 situation, the intention is to share the meaning online instead of coming to the site."
