A Japanese court on Wednesday rejected demands by eight Chinese women that the government offer apologies and compensation for the wartime military's forcing them into sex slavery, their supporters said.
The eight women, now in their 70s and 80s, demanded the government pay them 23 million yen (US$197,400) each in compensation for sexual abuse on southeastern China's Hainan Island.
The plaintiffs also want the Japanese government to offer a public apology.
The Tokyo District Court, however, rejected their demands, saying Japan's current government is not responsible for military actions under the wartime constitution, the plaintiffs' supporters said.
