NHK loses mock-trial show suit

The Tokyo High Court on Jan. 29 ordered NHK and two other production companies to pay ¥2 million in compensation to a women's rights group over a 2001 television program on Japan's wartime sex slavery.

The court acknowledged that NHK altered the contents of the program, which was based on a mock tribunal organized by the group on the issue of so-called "comfort women," after taking into account the remarks of politicians, but it fell short of recognizing intervention by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe or other senior politicians.
