Though they went to the police to file charges, prosecutors refused to press charges. As a result, they have resorted to filing a lawsuit, requesting compensation for emotional distress and unpaid overtime wages, due to what they described as violations of their human rights.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/arizona-abortion-thrilled-kill-babies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Arizona abortionists \u2018thrilled\u2019 to kill babies old enough to survive birth<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The woman forced into an abortion said she is speaking out to prevent this from happening to other women. \u201cI was very scared, but I was even more scared to think that I would be sent back to Cambodia,&#8221; she said. \u201cI had borrowed money to come to Japan and could not leave, so I endured it in silence.
