일본기업 근로정신대 배상 2심 판결…피해자 "日정부 반성해야"
A South Korean court has ordered a Japanese company to compensate another one of the Koreans it forced to work for it during World War Two.
On Wednesday, the appeals division of the Seoul Central District Court upheld a compensation claim by an elderly Korean woman... who was forced to work by a Japanese manufacturer called Nachi-Fujikoshi Corporation.
As in several similar rulings since last year, the appellate court rejected the firm’s argument that the 1965 normalization treaty between Seoul an Tokyo settled all such compensation claims.
The court ordered the firm to pay the victim around 89-thousand U.S. dollars.
