Clash over forced labor statue

Listen

Busan-based civic group members clash with the police over the erection of a statue symbolizing Korean forced laborers during Japan's 1910-45 occupation of the Korean Peninsula in front of the Japanese Consulate General in the port city, Tuesday. Last month, the foreign ministry said it was not proper to set up a statue in front of the Japanese diplomatic mission. / Yonhap
