一个东京法院命令北朝鲜向一个虚假的1959-1984年遣返计划的四名幸存者每人支付143 000美元,理由是强迫劳动和毁坏生命。 A Tokyo court ordered North Korea to pay $143,000 each to four survivors of a deceptive 1959–1984 repatriation program, citing forced labor and ruined lives.

东京法院于2026年1月26日裁定, 北朝鲜必须向1959-1984年遣返计划的四名幸存者每人支付2200万日元(143 000美元), A Tokyo court ruled January 26, 2026, that North Korea must pay 22 million yen ($143,000) each to four survivors of a 1959–1984 repatriation program that deceived ethnic Koreans and Japanese into moving to North Korea with promises of free healthcare, education, and jobs. 法院认为原告遭受了强迫劳动、限制行动和恶劣的生活条件,称他们的生活为“被困 ” 。 判决是为期八年的法律斗争的结果,标志着对侵犯人权行为的里程碑承认,尽管由于北朝鲜没有参与,也没有承认法院的权威,强制执行不太可能。 The court found the plaintiffs suffered forced labor, restricted movement, and harsh living conditions, calling their lives “ruined.” The decision, the result of an eight-year legal battle, marks a landmark acknowledgment of human rights abuses, though enforcement is unlikely as North Korea did not participate and has not recognized the court’s authority. 幸存者欢迎这一裁决,认为这是朝着问责制迈出的一步。 Survivors welcomed the ruling as a step toward accountability.
