World Heritage-listed "Battleship Island" coal mine in Japan

File photo taken in April 2015 shows the Hashima Coal Mine on Hashima Island, better known as Battleship Island, one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites related to Japan's industrial revolution during the Meiji period, off Nagasaki, southwestern Japan. South Korea's Yonhap News Agency reported June 21, 2020, that the country's government will demand that UNESCO remove the historical sites from the World Heritage site list as an exhibit at the sites' information center in Tokyo fails to show that Koreans were coerced to work at some of the sites during World War II.
