South Korean Lawmakers Ask Court to Prevent Sale of Distorted Textbooks

Four South Korean ruling and opposition lawmakers on Thursday filed an application with the Tokyo District Court for a provisional injunction to stop the production and sale of the controversial history textbooks for Japanese junior high school students.

The lawmakers sought the court order against eight Japanese publishers of the history textbooks that are said to vindicate atrocities committed by the Japanese army before and during World War II. Among the publishers are Fuso Publishing, Tokyo Publishing and Osaka Publishing.
