China Considering Compensation For Milk Victims

From Reuters:

A spokesman for the Ministry of Health, Mao Qun’an, said the “relevant departments are now assessing a compensation plan for the Sanlu infant milk powder incident,” according to the Ministry website (www.moh.gov.cn) on Wednesday.

But a Beijing lawyer seeking compensation for stricken children said the government plan would not satisfy families’ thirst for open accountability.

“This plan is being developed behind closed doors. The victims and their lawyers should be involved in setting the rules for compensation,” said Li Fangping, the lawyer.
