Defamatory suit over S. Korean professor concluded

Park Yu Ha, a professor of Japanese literature at Sejong University in Seoul, leaves a district court in the South Korean capital on Dec. 16, 2015, after the conclusion of a defamation suit filed against her by a group of former "comfort women." Park's book, "Teikoku no Ianfu" ("Comfort Women of the Empire"), has stirred controversy over the issue involving women forced into wartime brothels for the Japanese military. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
