Mexicans Slam Japan’s Fukushima Water Release as ‘Unethical’

Japan’s discharge of treated nuclear-contaminated water from the Fukushima plant into the Pacific Ocean has ignited global criticism, with Mexican residents calling the move 'unethical' and demanding accountability.

Since the release began on August 24, protests have surged worldwide. In Monterrey, Mexico, locals told CGTN Stringer they fear long-term environmental harm. 'This decision should involve everyone, not just a few,' said a local activist, echoing concerns over transparency and ecological risks.

Mexico, a Pacific-facing nation, worries about impacts on marine life and coastal economies. Critics argue Japan’s action sets a dangerous precedent, prioritizing speed over global consensus. Will governments heed the public outcry?
