【北京時事】戦時中に日本に強制連行され労働を強いられたとして、中国人元労働者の遺族50人が16日、鹿島建設や日鉄鉱業など日本企業6社に対し、1人当たり約37万元(約850万円)の損害賠償を求める訴状を河北省石家荘市の高級人民法院(高裁)に提出した。原告団が明らかにした。

原告団は、日中両国の少なくとも10の主要メディアに謝罪文を掲載することも求めている。訴状では、強制連行が「労働者本人に甚大な苦難をもたらし、遺族にも永続的な精神的苦痛を与えている」としている。

中国人の強制連行を巡っては、日本政府は中国が戦争賠償の請求を放棄した日中共同声明(1972年)で解決済みとの立場をとっている。中国外務省の郭嘉昆副報道局長は16日の記者会見で、「日本側が歴史を直視し、アジアで被害を受けた国の人々の正当で合理的な要求に真剣に向き合うよう求める」と述べた。

Former Philippine President Duterte makes first appearance at ICC, trial continues on charges of crimes against humanity

Former President Duterte (81), who is facing charges of crimes against humanity for leading the Philippine drug war, made his first appearance at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands, on the 16th. He appeared in a white shirt and dark jacket and did not have a chance to speak, but he waved to the audience after the hearing ended. The defense has requested a postponement of the proceedings on the grounds of cognitive ability, but the ICC has rejected the request after conducting an examination by experts, and the first trial is scheduled for the end of November.
