Korean citizen group, Distribution of "Japanese posters" to prevent UNESCO registration application for "Kanayama on Sado Island"

Regarding Japan's promotion of the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage registration of "Kanayama on Sado Island" in Niigata Prefecture, the Korean civil society VANK said on the 10th, "I want you to stop this." A poster appealing to Japan was distributed on SNS.

Two posters made in Japanese say, "I oppose the registration of Sado Kinzan as a World Heritage Site. Please prevent Japan from laundering the past of forced labor using UNESCO's World Heritage system." The contents such as "The liar, the weight of the lie cannot be tolerated. The forced recruitment of former members of the Korean Peninsula, imperialism, aggression war, historical drama" are written.

VANK leader Park Guite said, "It will take about 20 days for Japan to officially apply for Sado Kinzan as a World Heritage Site. Until then, we will start to form public opinion for Japanese people so that we can prevent the application. I want Koreans abroad to actively participate."
