The Court of Appeal of Paris will open a hearing in early May regarding a lawsuit filed by Vietnamese-French Tran Thi To Nga against US chemical corporations that supplied Agent Orange (AO)/dioxin for the US army during the war in Vietnam.

The 10th August is the starting day when US troops sprayed chemicals containing deadly dioxin “Agent Orange” over Vietnamese soil. It lasted ten years during which more than one million liter of chemical was used.

I refer to Agent Orange. Its use, over a period of ten-years, resulted in the deaths of thousands of babies, many in the wombs of their mothers.
