Chinese and Taiwanese survivors of atomic bombings sue Japanese government for medical assistance

Japanese public t.v. broadcaster NHK has reported that survivors of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the U.S. in 1945 have sued the Japanese government for $15,000 due to having been denied medical assistance for over 65 years. Japanese courts have previously ruled that foreign Hibakusha, or survivors of the atomic bombings, are entitled to such compensation.
