A South Korean protester shouts slogans 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 picket reads 'censure the visit to Yasukuni shrine'. [Reuters]
