South Koreans against Japan's nuclear wastewater discharge plan

Over 100,000 people in South Korea have, as of Monday, signed a petition against Japan's planned discharge of treated radioactive wastewater from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean.

The signature campaign was organized by the country's main opposition party, the Democratic Party of South Korea, on Friday.

In just three days, the campaign gathered huge momentum, leading to the petition garnering 100,000 signatures as of Monday.

The campaign came after a team of South Korean experts concluded a two-day trip to Fukushima to investigate health safety concerns surrounding the wastewater discharge agenda.
