Lester Tenney, a survivor of the Bataan Death March after the fall of the Philippines in 1942, told The Daily Telegraph: "We do not want our money to be given to Japanese companies who used American POWs and have refused to apologise for the past 65 years." Mr Tenney said US soldiers laboured for some of Japan's most successful corporations for no wages, little food and negligible medical care, while enduring daily beatings.
