<Anchor> In response to the



Berlin administration's request to demolish the Peace Girl statue in the city, a local Korean civic group has decided to file a temporary injunction to suspend the demolition order.

The online petition movement is also in full swing.



Reporter Kim Hye-young's report.



<Reporter> On the



25th of last month, the statue of the girl of peace, which was first installed in a public place in Berlin, Germany, was ordered to be demolished by the day after the day after the 14th.



The Korean-American group that led the installation of the girl's statue decided to apply for a temporary injunction to suspend the demolition order as early as today.



The announcement of the Mitte Ward office that the inscription of the girl's statue did not go through consultations and that the contents also hurt relations between Germany and Japan strongly refuted, saying that it was not true.



[Han Jeong-hwa/CEO of the Korea Council: (Content of the inscription) (The Mite-gu Office) is currently holding an inscription. Because...

.] The



inscription only states that'the Japanese military took Asian-Pacific women as sex slaves during World War II, and pay homage to the survivors' courage to prevent such a recurrence of crime'.



They pointed out the universal issue of women's rights in wartime, which local authorities criticized as being devalued from an anti-Japanese nationalist perspective.



Also, if the inscription is a problem, the inscription can be demolished, and the order to demolish the girl statue is unjust and legally worth fighting.



A petition campaign against the demolition order has begun in the region, and more than 3,000 people have signed up to date with the words "proof of history" and "opposing the demolition of the girl statue."



Kim So-yeon, former Prime Minister Schroeder's wife, also requested withdrawal of the demolition order with her husband.



However, it is more important to inform the locals that the girl statue is a symbol of universal human rights, as the installation period of the girl statue is one year and the re-extension is also decided by the Mite-gu office.
