Description
Plaintiffs and supporters celebrate a legal victory after Japan's top court ruled that a defunct eugenics law under which thousands of people were forcibly sterilised between 1948 and 1996 was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court also declared that a 20-year statute of limitations could not be applied, paving the way for compensation claims from victims after years of legal battles. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
