State again loses suit for not certifying A-bomb sufferers

TOKYO, Japan - Supporters of plaintiffs who filed a lawsuit against the state over certification of atomic-bomb sufferers celebrate in front of the Tokyo High Court in Tokyo on May 28. The court ruled that the state should certify 29 of 30 plaintiffs as suffering from illnesses caused by radiation from the 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, scrapping a lower court ruling that recognized just 21.
