Vietnam war crime survivor gets justice in court
A Seoul judge ruled that US-allied South Korean marines had massacred civilians
Almost 55 years after her village was destroyed by South Korean marines fighting alongside the US in Vietnam, a judge in Seoul ruled that Nguyen Thi Thanh was a victim of a war crime and entitled to compensation.
“clearly amounted to an illegal act.” Ngyuen, 62, was entitled to compensation from the South Korean government in the amount of $23,900, he said.
