ローマの裁判所で、50万ユーロの賠償の支払いを政府が兵士（ステファノ・メロンさん）の遺族に行うよう命じた判決が出ました。
DUに関しては、イギリスで、年金を被害を受けた軍人に支払うよう、政府に命じた判決が出ていますが、それに続くものです。
ステファノさんのおつれいあさんは、こどもたちの未来のため、DUに被曝した人々のため、何年も裁判を戦ってきたそうです。
Hi all
sorry about my limited presence in the list in this period, I'm still very
busy.
Anyway big news from Italy, the Court in Rome has sentenced that the family
of Stefano Melone, died in 2001 after many missions abroad, must receive
a compensation of 500.000 euros by the italian Ministry of Defence.
It's something like the Kenny Duncan case in the UK; this is the first
time that the Ministry is sentenced to pay a pension or compensation to
someone because of depleted uranium.
We're still waiting for the sentence details, it will be published in the
next days, however this is an important first step that could help many
other people in their cases against the MoD.
I know personally Paola Melone, Stefano's wife, she has been running this
battle for years after the death of her husband (you can see the website
http://www.stefanomelone.or! g, even if only in italian), for the future of their kids and all the people
exposed to depleted uranium.
I'm going to send to her an official message of support, if you agree on
behalf of ICBUW too.
Take care
francesco
