2 Men in Japan sue their employers for penalising them for taking paternity leave
.
Summary:
Japan has one of the best paternity leave policies in the world but in reality many Japanese men will not take advantage of their legal right for fear of retribution. Two men in Japan who did take time off to take care of newborns sued their employers, claiming that the companies punished them with demotions and pay cuts after they returned from paternity leave. Their lawsuits have sparked hot discussion in the country about the longstanding cultural norms and company expectations.

retribution (n.) (應得的懲罰; 報應)
retribution指應得的懲罰;報應。Divine retribution 指上帝的懲罰。
e.g. Freedom is one of the core values that we uphold. Everyone should be able to express their opinion without the fear of retribution.
e.g. Some people think that the earthquake is divine retribution.

// A doctor who diagnosed early coronavirus cases in China has told the BBC he believes local officials covered up the scale of the initial outbreak.
Professor Kwok-Yung Yuen, who helped to investigate in Wuhan, says physical evidence was destroyed and the response to clinical findings was slow.
"When we went to the Huanan supermarket, of course, there was nothing to see because the market was clean already. So, you may say that the crime scene is already disturbed because the supermarket was cleared we cannot identify any host which is giving the virus to humans," said Professor Yuen.
"I do suspect that they have been doing some cover-up locally at Wuhan. The local officials who are supposed to immediately relay the information has not allowed this to be done as readily as it should," he added.
China has been criticised for its initial response to the outbreak, and for penalising a doctor who tried to warn colleagues about the virus in late December. In response, China has repeatedly denied accusations that it withheld information about the severity of its outbreak.//
