Gov't, plaintiffs settle court battle over Narita airport land

TOKYO, Japan - Hidemasa Koizumi (L), adopted son of the late Yone Koizumi, speaks at a news conference in Tokyo on Feb. 13 after a 21-year-old court battle was settled at the Supreme Court's No.1 petty court. Yone Koizumi had campaigned vigorously against the government expropriating her home and rice paddies for the Narita airport. The plaintiffs withdrew the suit, accepting the government's apology for insufficient discussions before the 1971 exploitation.
