A court in Japan ordered a venue be made available for a special photography exhibit of South Koreans who were forced into sexual slavery during the Japanese colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula. The ruling came after the exhibit was cancelled due to protests from right-wing activists in Japan.

A regional court in Tokyo ordered camera maker Nikon to provide a gallery for the exhibition, which had been scheduled to be held on June 26th before it was cancelled.

Nikon had initially agreed to hold the exhibition in one of its galleries in Shinjuku, Tokyo, but cancelled the event after right-wing activists threatened to boycott the company’s products, saying the exhibit was too “political.”

Ahn Se-hong, the Korean-Japanese photographer who had coordinated the event, said the court’s ruling was in favor of the freedom of expression and that the exhibit would be held on schedule.
