Description
The Belgian state has been ordered to pay reparations to five mixed-race women who were forcibly placed in an orphanage 70 years ago under a colonial-era practice that judges say constituted a crime against humanity. "For us, it's a great relief," says Lea Tavares Mujinga, one complainant. "At last we've been heard and the courts have ruled in our favour." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
