Hình ảnh
In a courageous legal battle, Tran To Nga, a former reporter from what was once French Indochina, took on 14 agrochemical companies, accusing them of causing severe harm to herself and others by selling Agent Orange to the American military. The herbicide was infamously used during the Vietnam War with devastating consequences. Nga’s initial case, filed in 2021, was dismissed by a French court, ruling that the companies enjoyed legal immunity as they worked for a sovereign government.

The use of Agent Orange in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambod...
