Mitsubishi ordered to compensate for forced labor

Kim Jae-rim (C), a Korean victim of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ forced labor during World War II and one of four who had filed damage suits against the Japanese company, leaves the Gwangju District Court in the namesake city, 329km south of Seoul, on Aug. 11, 2017. The court ordered the company to pay 120 million won to the 87-year-old victim. Mitsubishi is one of the leading Japanese war criminal companies involved in forced labor during the war. More than 1 million Koreans were forcibly taken to mines, ammunition factories and construction sites in Japan during the war. (Yonhap)
