Court rejects damages suit by 3 Chinese war survivors

TOKYO, Japan - Yang Baoshan, one of three Chinese plaintiffs who filed a suit seeking Japanese government compensation for a massacre by the Imperial Japanese Army in China's Liaoning Province in 1932, speaks to reporters in Tokyo on June 28 after their suit was rejected by the Tokyo District Court the same day. The three -- two men and a woman who were between 4 and 9 years old at the time -- claim they lost their family members and were subjected to Japanese army brutality in a suburb of the city of Fushun on Sept. 16, 1932.

                  TOKYO, July 25 Kyodo - AUM Shinrikyo religious cult founder Shoko Asahara (file photo) was ordered July 15 by the Tokyo District Court to pay about 460 million yen in compensation to eight family members of four victims of a June 1994 sarin gas attack in Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture. The plaintiffs filed the 545 million yen damages suit in August 1995, about one year after the attack, but proceedings were suspended for nearly four years because the court decided in December 1996 to closely follow proceedings of criminal lawsuits filed against Asahara, 46.
