Brisbane City Council has recently whited out ‘Artforce project operated traffic signal box’ mural depicting ‘Statue of Peace’, a symbol of the victims of sexual slavery known as comfort women by the Japanese imperial military during the World War II, in the very next morning of its completion by Korean Australian students of University of Queensland.
Following the removal of the mural, the Korean Australian students protested to the council over its immediate action and the SBS Korean Program’s exclusive report on the issue has spurred vehement pros and cons debate on its SNS.
