Korean veteran dissatisfied with Japan bill

OTSU, Japan - Kang Pu Jung, 80, a South Korean resident of Japan who was forcibly drafted and lost the fingers on his right hand during the war, voices dissatisfaction over Japan's new law for compensation of foreign veterans at a news conference May 31, saying that those eligible should be entitled to compensation equivalent to that given to Japanese nationals. The law specifically targets Korean and Taiwanese permanent residents of Japan who lost their Japanese nationality due to the 1951 San Francisco peace treaty.
