South Korean and Japanese civic groups have joined forces to sue a Japanese company for damages for forcing Koreans to work for it during World War II.
At a press conference in Seoul on Wednesday,... the civic groups said... that by the end of the year they will appoint a joint legal team comprising roughly 20 lawyers... to represent the people used by Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation as forced laborers.
The move comes... after South Korea's Supreme Court ruled that the Japanese steelmaker has to pay compensation worth some 87-thousand U.S. dollars to each of four Korean victims.
But there are many more victims than that.
The civic groups will be contacting the individuals eligible to file complaints.
