전범기업 후지코시 강제동원 할머니 5명 또 승소…"각 1억 배상"<br /><br />More rulings on Japan's forced labor of South Koreans are coming out.<br />Seoul District Court on Wednesday upheld a ruling from 2016, ordering Nachi-Fujikoshi to compensate 5 South Korean women forced to work during World War Two.<br />The Japanese machinery manufacturer was ordered to pay 89-thousand U.S. dollars to each of the plaintiffs. <br />The victims were brought to Japan and were forced to work at the firm's munitions factory without pay or sufficient food.<br />A similar ruling was made in another appeal by that company last week against an 88-year-old South Korean plaintiff. <br />Many of these rulings had been made years ago,... but the Japanese firms' appeals had been pushed back, something that's under investigation locally. <br />With South Korea's Supreme Court ordering Nippon Steel & Sumitomo to compensate its victims last October, many lower courts have been following suit. <br />
