South Korea's opposition lawmakers and those who were forced to work for Japanese companies during the World War II protest against the country's plan to compensate them and end a historic dispute with Tokyo. South Korea announced plans on Monday to pay the victims of forced labour using money taken from Korean companies that benefited from a 1965 repatriation deal, in a bid to break the "vicious cycle" in the Asian powers' relations. "War crimes cannot be resolved without a sincere apology from the Japanese authorities and without proper compensation for the victims," says Lee Jae-myung, leader of the opposition ‘Democratic Party’.
