Lawsuit by chloroquine side-effect victims
TOKYO, Japan, Aug. 24 Kyodo - A group of victims who suffer side effects from the drug chloroquine rally in Tokyo's Kasumigaseki district on Dec. 22, 1975, while holding a banner reading, "Give us back light." The plaintiffs lodged a damages suit later in the day for the state's alleged failure to warn patients of the danger of chloroquine, which was used to treat kidney disease. Patients were not informed that it could damage to the eyes, leading gradually to permanent blindness.(Kyodo)
