Despite widespread denunciation at home and abroad, Japan on Aug 24 started discharging nuclear-contaminated wastewater from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

"This is a horrendous and horrible move by Japan," said Lusia Lagilevo, a protester from NGO Citizens' Constitutional Forum. "It's a disrespect to our rights as human beings."

"Although we are from small island countries, we still deserve to have our rights, our dignity and our freedoms respected," Lagilevo told Xinhua News Agency.

Thousands of South Korean fishermen, activists and politicians held a protest rally in central Seoul on Saturday, condemning Japan's dumping of the contaminated wastewater.
