Minamata marks 60th anniv. of mercury-poisoning disease recognition
Around 50 people pray for the victims of Minamata mercury-poisoning disease at a memorial ceremony in the city of Minamata in Kumamoto Prefecture, southwestern Japan, on May 1, 2016, marking the 60th anniversary of Japan's official recognition of the illness linked to industrial pollution. An annual memorial service usually attended by the environment minister and Kumamoto governor was postponed in the wake of a series of powerful earthquakes in the region since mid-April. (Kyodo)
