The Confederation of Trade Unions and the Federation of Trade Unions of south Korea organized a committee for promoting the erection of a statue of a forcibly drafted worker in February and have since launched a campaign for probe into the truth behind the crimes committed by the Japanese imperialists who forcibly drafted the young and middle-aged Koreans.

A ceremony of unveiling the statue took place at the Puphyong Park in Inchon City on Aug. 12.
