North Korea calls on international community to stop Japan’s planned dumping of treated sewage from Fukushima

(CNN) — North Korea on Sunday called on the international community to stop Japan’s planned discharge of treated sewage from Fukushima, in a statement carried by its state media KCNA.

“The righteous international community must not stand idly by and watch the evil, anti-humanitarian and belligerent action of the corrupt force trying to disrupt the home of humanity on the blue planet, and must unite for the arrest and destroy them completely,” read a statement attributed to the director of foreign affairs of the Department of Land and Environmental Protection.

The statement follows a report released last week by the United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which concluded that Japan’s plan to discharge treated sewage from Fukushima met international safety standards. environmental.
