A South Korean government panel yesterday cleared 83 nationals conscripted by the Japanese military during the World War II of war crimes.
They are part of at least 148 Koreans who were convicted by the allied countries after the war. Most of them were forcefully mobilized and worked as prison guards and in other nonessential jobs. Categorized as B-Class or C-Class war criminals, they were either executed or imprisoned at least five years.
The Truth Commission on Forced Mobilization under the Japanese Imperialism announced yesterday that it recognizes the 83 war criminals as colonial victims. They were selected out of 86 people who had claimed to be victimized by the colonialists

Apparently just following orders is now a defense.
I'm sure they would understand if we decide to clear all the soldiers at No Gun Ri. |
