Japanese government sued over Chongqing bombing

Fifteen victims of Japan's mass bombing campaign in Chongqing between 1938 and 1944 have filed a lawsuit against the Japanese government.

The plaintiffs have demanded a worldwide apology for the Chinese people and compensation for economic losses, chief lawyer Lin Gang said on Monday.

The lawsuit, submitted to the Chongqing High People's Court, is the first time victims of war have sued Japan's government in China, said Pan Guohua, professor of international law at the Southwest University of Political Science and Law. He is a consultant for the legal team presenting the case.
