A South Korean protester tears anti-Japanese banners featuring pictures of Japan's Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi at a rally in front of the Japanese embassy in Seoul February 21, 2006. The protesters demanded Japanese PM 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. [Reuters]
