A Chinese man who threw four Molotov cocktails at the Japanese Embassy in Seoul in January has been jailed for 10 months by a South Korean court, the People's Daily reported yesterday.
Liu Qiang, 36, a native of south China's Guangdong Province, said his grandmother was a South Korean who was forced to be a "comfort woman" by Japanese troops during World War II.
Seoul Central District Court said a psychological assessment found Liu had slight mental problems, was easily irritated and prone to exaggeration.
Although his problem was not severe, it had impaired his judgment.
However, Liu denied he had mental issues.
Liu, whose grandfather died during the war, was said to be angry because Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda had said Japan "doesn't need to take responsibility for the issue," and South Korea hadn't insisted that Japan apologize.
South Korean prosecutors had called for a four-year jail term.
No one was hurt in the January 8 incident and Liu was caught at the scene.
