Parents seek quick court resolution in milk poisoning case
Parents of 22 infants who were poisoned after taking Nutrilatt milk powder have filed a complaint to the Ministry of Justice to intervene as the municipal court had awarded compensation, which has not been paid because the case is allegedly dragging on in an appeal court.

In a letter to the Ministry of Justice on Monday, the parents of the victims said they wanted the case finalised as the delay was an injustice to their children.

One of the parents, Malis said yesterday that all the parents filed the petition on Monday for the intervention of Justice Minister Keut Rith, after the appeal by the milk’s importer has been dragging on at the appeal court.

“The court case involving our children has continually been postponed, we don’t want to wait anymore, we want justice for our children,” said Malis.

Malis said her baby recovered after treatment by a noted doctor abroad and her three-year-old child is being monitored by a doctor every week.

“It was a serious mistake by the milk powder company, it seriously affected my child’s health. Because we were so worried, we spent a lot of money on treatment, so justice for my family is very important,” she said.

Another parent, Yin Sreypov, said all the affected families have not received any compensation from the company after the Phnom Penh Municipal Court judgment was announced last year.
