Japan Indymedia article (http://japan.indymedia.org/newswire/display/3239/index.php)
In a closely watched court-case, the Tokyo High Court found the public broadcaster had bowed to political pressure and distorted a program about the Women's International War Crimes Tribunal on Japan's Military Sexual Slavery, in which the late emperor Hirohito had been found guilty of crimes against humanity.
The Tokyo HIgh Court sentenced NHK to a 20mio (million) yen fine for infringing on the rights of VAWW-net, an NGO that had contributed to the program.
