Compensation for forced labor victims via Seoul-based foundation

Members of a progressive activist group stage a rally in front of the foreign ministry in Seoul on March 6, 2023, to protest over the South Korean government's solution for addressing the issue of compensation for Japan's wartime forced labor. The government formally proposed compensating more than a dozen victims of Japan's wartime forced labor through a Seoul-backed public foundation, instead of direct payment from responsible Japanese firms.
