Removal of memorial stone for forced Korean labor victims begins

A notice of the closure of the Gunma Prefectural Forest Park in the Japanese city of Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture, from Jan. 28-Feb. 12, 2024, is posted on fences set up in front of the entrance to the park. The local authorities began work to remove a memorial stone for Korean victims of Japan's wartime forced labor at the park the previous day. The memorial stone was erected at the park in 2004 by a Japanese civic group to promote the public's understanding of the shared history from Japan's 1910-45 colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula and the friendship between the two neighbors.
