South Korean protesters burn a flag at an anti-Japanese rally in front of the Japanese embassy in Seoul February 21, 2006. The protesters demanded Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi apologise for his visits to a Tokyo shrine that critics say glorifies Japan's past militarism. They also demanded for Tokyo to drop its claim to a set of desolate islands also claimed by Seoul. The flag reads 'Tokto islets belong to Korean territory, stop the visits to Yasukuni shrine'.
