Police barricades removed from Seoul's Statue of Peace after 6 years

Statue of Peace no longer fenced off after 6 years

Police barricades surrounding the Statue of Peace near the former Japanese Embassy in central Seoul were fully removed on Wednesday, six years after they were first installed amid vandalism concerns and clashes involving anti-comfort women groups. The removal took place alongside the 1,751st weekly Wednesday rally calling for justice for victims of Japan’s wartime sexual slavery system, organized by the Korean Council for Justice and Remembrance for the Issues of Military Sexual Slavery by Japan
