French public supports Tran To Nga's justice fight for AO victims

Immediately following the Paris Court of Appeal's decision on August 22 to reject the civil lawsuit filed by Tran To Nga, an 82-year-old French-Vietnamese, against 14 US chemical companies for supplying Agent Orange (AO)/dioxin to the US army during the Vietnam War, many French media outlets have reiterated her decades-long arduous and challenging fight for justice.

On August 23, the support committee for Nga’s lawsuit held an online press conference, with Nga participating from Vietnam. Lawyers, representatives from various associations and individuals, expressed their regret over the court's decision.

In a letter shared with the Vietnam News Agency, Honorary Senator Hélène Luc asserted that the court's conservative decision would not deter Nga and her supporters. On the contrary, it will only strengthen their resolve to ensure that the truth prevails.

This justice fight is crucial for all those who have died, for those who are suffering from disabilities that prevent them from enjoying life, for children born with defects, and ultimately to prevent such horrors from happening again to humanity, she wrote./.
