The girl has a malformed hand, like many victims of the disease who suffer from physical deformites among other symptoms. The Tokyo District Court has rejected a civil lawsuit demanding that tests into food toxicity and illnesses required by law be carried out for "Minamata disease" poisoning. Doctor Toshihide Tsuda, who sued, said Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2016, he would appeal the court's decision. (AP Photo, File)
