64 file suit seeking recognition as hibakusha

Prospective plaintiffs head to the Hiroshima District Court in Hiroshima on Nov. 4, 2015, to file a lawsuit seeking official recognition as hibakusha. They argue they were exposed to "black rain" nuclear fallout following the atomic-bombing of the city, but their applications for the recognition were rejected as their exposure occurred in undesignated areas.
