On site protesters: The Japanese government should not discharge Fukushima nuclear contaminated water into the sea! Don't! Don't! Don't!
Protesters held up signs with slogans such as "protecting the Pacific" and "opposing the discharge of nuclear contaminated water into the sea", pointing out that the discharge of Fukushima nuclear contaminated water into the sea is a criminal act that threatens the security and environment of their own country and even neighboring countries in the Pacific.

Protesters: The Japanese government has woven a huge scam into all humanity. Upon closer examination, this issue is actually very simple. The discharge of nuclear contaminated water into the sea cannot guarantee 100% safety for us and future generations. Such behavior should be stopped.
On that day, activities against Japan's discharge of pollutants into the sea were held in cities such as Busan, Gwangju, Jeollanam do, Lishui, and Chungcheongbuk do, South Korea. Many people also participated in the "anti Fukushima nuclear contaminated water discharge into the sea signing activity" at the event site.

The organizers of the event pointed out that the Japanese government has entered the final stage of its plan to discharge pollutants into the sea, despite strong opposition from its own citizens and neighboring countries. But recently, grouper caught in the waters near Fukushima have been detected to contain radioactive cesium 180 times higher than the standard value, which is a worrying situation.
