S. Korea scholar ordered to compensate 9 ex-"comfort women"

Women who worked at Japanese wartime brothels leave the Seoul Eastern District Court on Jan. 13, 2016, after the court ordered South Korean professor Park Yu Ha to compensate nine of the so-called "comfort women" by giving them 10 million won (about $8,300) each for the mental distress they suffered because of her controversial book. Park's book has drawn a storm of criticism for taking Japan's side on the issue. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
