Mom Group Says "No Contamination Issue"... Rally Supporting Discharge in Front of Japanese Prime Minister's Residence

"Claims of 'No Contaminated Water Issue,' 30 Participants
Earlier, Protest Against Removal of 'Statue of Peace'"

When South Korean opposition lawmakers held a rally in front of the Japanese Prime Minister's residence to protest the release of contaminated water from Fukushima into the ocean, the South Korean hardline conservative group 'Eommabudae' held a rally at the same location supporting the ocean release of the contaminated water.

On the 20th, Japan's Sankei Shimbun reported that the day before, Joo Ok-soon, the leader of 'Eommabudae,' held a rally in front of the Japanese Prime Minister's residence supporting the ocean release of the contaminated water.

According to the report, Leader Joo stated, "I am truly sorry that South Korean lawmakers came to Japan and did such a terrible thing," and claimed, "The general South Korean public does not harbor bad feelings about the contaminated water."

Earlier, on the 10th, the 'Parliamentary Group to Prevent the Ocean Dumping of Fukushima Nuclear Contaminated Water,' consisting of 10 members from the Democratic Party of Korea and independents, held a protest in front of Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's residence opposing the release of contaminated water.

The media reported that about 30 South Koreans, including Leader Joo, participated in this rally. They said, "The forces opposing the release of contaminated water are only a minority within South Korea."

'Eommabudae' is an extreme right-wing group that has held protests demanding the removal of the 'Statue of Peace,' which commemorates the victims of the Japanese military's 'comfort women.' In June of last year, they held a protest calling for the removal of the Statue of Peace located in Mitte, Berlin, Germany.
