Special law to redeem pro-Japanese collaborators' property
The special law to redeem pro-Japanese collaborators' property is a special South Korean law that passed the South Korean National Assembly on December 8, 2005, and was enacted on December 29, 2005. Under this law, the South Korean government is able to seize land and other properties owned by Korean collaborators (chinilpa), and their descendants, who supported the Japanese administrators. The bill defines as collaborators people who took part in Japan’s annexation of Korea, received titles from the Japanese colonial government, or served as members of Japan’s parliament who ruled Korea. The confiscated assets are used to compensate pro-independence activists and their offspring.[1] [2]
