Suit against NHK over 'comfort women' program rejected

TOKYO, Japan - Members of Violence Against Women in War-Network Japan (VAWW-NET Japan) and lawyers speak at a press conference March 24 after the Tokyo District Court mostly rejected a 20 million yen damages suit they filed against NHK and two production companies over an NHK TV program on a 2000 wartime sex slavery mock tribunal in Tokyo. The plaintiff had claimed the defendants reedited the program without explaining to the group which helped NHK and the production agencies to produce the program. (Kyodo)
