STORYLINE:
STANDUP (English): TU YIFAN, Xinhua correspondent
"I'm here by the seaside of Soma City near Fukushima Prefecture. Japanese government announced Tuesday it has decided to start releasing nuclear-contaminated wastewater from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the ocean on Thursday, weather conditions permitting.
Despite raging opposition from both home and abroad, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced the controversial decision following a ministerial meeting held on Tuesday morning.
On the same day, despite pouring rain, hundreds of Japanese gathered in front of the Japanese prime minister's official residence to protest the government's irresponsible decision.
SOUNDBITE 1 (Japanese): Protester
"The discharge of nuclear-contaminated wastewater shouldn't be allowed! Kishida should obey the promise! TEPCO should obey the promise! Listen to the voice of fishery group! Listen to the voice of local residents! No pollution to the ocean!"
SOUNDBITE 2 (Japanese): HIDEKI TAKI, Rally's organizers
"With great anger, we are here to show our strong opposition in front of the prime minister's official residence. No matter how the wastewater is 'treated,' its nuclear-contaminated nature remains unchanged. However, the Japanese government claimed it was a safe move. We will continue to voice our opposition and fight against it."
According to the latest opinion poll conducted by the national news agency Kyodo, a total of 88.1 percent surveyed expressed concerns over the government's discharge plan, as the disapproval rate of the Kishida-led cabinet rose to an eight-month high.
