"If it's safe and not problematic, why would Japan not store (the wastewater) on its land but dump it into the Pacific Ocean, the well of the world, to worry everyone and damage everyone's health?" said Lee Jae-myung, leader of the main opposition Democratic Party.

Lee called the wastewater dumping a "provocation against humanity" and urged Tokyo to immediately stop the discharge threatening the safety of people around the world.
