Liberation Society Urges Japanese Government to Apologize... "The Memorial Ceremony Is Empty Shell"

Independence activists and the Liberation Association, a group of bereaved families and descendants, have urged an apology over the controversy over the Sado mine memorial ceremony, saying the Japanese government is not taking sincere follow-up measures.

The Liberation Association said in a statement today (26th) that the Japanese government should strongly condemn and apologize for not implementing the measures promised to commemorate the victims of forced mobilization at the Sado mine.

He also criticized the absence of the expression "forced" in the exhibition space related to Korean workers located next to the Sado mine, indicating that the Japanese government is still unapologetic about its past acts of sovereignty.

He pointed out that a memorial event without genuine reflection was nothing but an empty shell and a mockery of Koreans, and that it once again hurt victims of forced mobilization and their descendants.
