War victims' plea rejected
Forty-five Chinese plaintiffs lodged an appeal yesterday to Japan's Supreme Court, demanding compensation for forced labor during World War II.
The move came 14 days after the Fukuoka High Court dismissed a lawsuit filed against the Japanese government and two Japanese companies by the plaintiffs who were forced to work as laborers in Japan during World War II.
