The Wakayama District Court that day ordered the Taiji town government to pay 110,000 yen ($973) in compensation to an Australian woman barred from entering the whale museum in February 2014. Sarah Lucas, 31, a member of the conservation group Australia for Dolphins, had sought around 3.3 million yen in compensation, claiming the town's actions constituted unjust discrimination and an obstruction of freedom of thought and conscience.
