Top court confirms sale permit of pro-N. Korea group building in Tokyo

TAKAMATSU, Japan - Ichiro Shirai, lawyer for Marunaka Holdings Co., a real estate developer in the city of Takamatsu, western Japan, holds a press conference in the city on Nov. 5, 2014, following a decision by the Supreme Court to permit the sale of the Tokyo headquarters building of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan to Marunaka, rejecting an appeal by the pro-Pyongyang group against the sale. Shirai said his client will urge the group called Chongryon to vacate the building, which has functioned as North Korea's de facto embassy in Japan in the absence of diplomatic relations between Tokyo and Pyongyang.
