Lawsuit requests California city remove ‘comfort women’ statue

The contentious debate over Japan's past use of "comfort women" from other Asian nations in wartime has made its way to the city of Glendale, Calif. 

Two Japanese-Americans and a nonprofit group filed a lawsuit against the city last week calling for the removal of a statue in a public park that commemorates the women who were forced to be sex slaves for Japanese soldiers leading up to and during World War II.
