An anti-nuclear protest is underway in the South Korean capital, Seoul.

Around 50 mothers are voicing their concern over the nuclear crisis at the earthquake-hit Fukushima nuclear power plant in neighbouring Japan.

The APTN newsagency says the women are wearing yellow scarves with the radiation warning logo, and are holding anti-nuclear banners and daisies in their hands.

The Secretary-General of the Korea Federation for Environment Movements, Kim Jong-nam, says the women are not convinced that there is no nuclear fallout on the peninsula.

"Now, 25 years after the Chernobyl accident, a considerable amount of radioactive contamination is still found in surrounding areas," he said.
