Court certifies 9 as A-bomb illness victims, but rejects damages

OSAKA, Jpan - Plaintiffs attend a meeting with their supporters on May 12 after the Osaka District Court certified them as victims of illnesses caused by atomic-bomb radiation, declaring illegal the government's earlier decisions not to grant such certification. The court, however, turned down their other demand for 3 million yen in damages per person.
