A-Bomb Victims of S. Korea Demand Reparation from Japanese Government
Pyongyang, December 11 (KCNA) -- At least 380 A-bomb victims of south Korea filed lawsuits all at once in local courts in Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Osaka, Japan against the Japanese government in demand of its reparation.

They fell victim to A-bombs after being drafted by the Japanese imperialists to Japan for military service and forced labor.

But the Japanese government has not paid them reparation for the mere reason that they did not live in Japan after the end of the war.

Recalling that they have suffered a lot due to the behavior of Japan, they urged the Japanese government to immediately pay reparation to all victims.

Meanwhile, it was reported that more than 2,000 A-bomb victims in south Korea and bereaved families of the 980 A-bomb victims who have already died are making arrangements to file similar lawsuits.
