  Japan admits wartime forced labor in new heritage sites

  This undated file photo shows the Miyanohara pit of the defunct Miike coal mine complex in Omuta, Fukuoka Prefecture, southwestern Japan. It is one of the seven early industrial facilities out of its 23 for which Japan won world heritage status at a meeting of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in the German city of Bonn after a deal with South Korea to publicly acknowledge negative historical events.

Korea was under Japan's brutal colonial rule from 1910-45. (Yonhap)
