Wani Yukio, a Japanese independent journalist and historian, donates historical documents related to Hong Kong Military Yen Court cases to the Chinese University of Hong Kong Library in Hong Kong, April 11, 2019. In the 1990s, he formed a group with several Japanese lawyers and scholars to support a lawsuit, filed by victims in Hong Kong, seeking reparation for the military yen issued during the Japanese occupation. This is the only legal action ever taken by the Hong Kong community, and it was eventually rejected by the Supreme Court of Japan in 2001. After the legal action ended, Mr. Wani gathered the materials and information related to the case, including seven boxes of court judgments, case summaries, oral histories of victims in Hong Kong, news reports, and video tapes, and donated them to the CUHK Library, according to the library.
