Paciente con cáncer terminal premiado con 289 millones en caso de que Monsanto

Nueva York (dpa) – Un jurado en California otorgó el viernes 289 millones de dólares a un ex jardinero que dijo haber contraído el cáncer terminal de Roundup, un herbicida ampliamente utilizado fabricado por el gigante agroquímico estadounidense Monsanto.

El jurado otorgó 250 millones de dólares en daños punitivos y más de 39 millones de dólares en daños compensatorios a Dewayne Johnson, quien fue diagnosticada con cáncer linfático a la edad de 42 años en 2014, según informes de prensa.

Él es uno de los cientos de pacientes con cáncer que están enjuiciando a Monsanto, y el desarrollo del viernes puede sentar un precedente para otros casos contra la compañía.


El caso de Johnson se movió para ser escuchado antes que otros porque está muriendo. Como jardinero roció Roundup y otro producto de Monsanto, Ranger Pro, en su trabajo con un distrito escolar del área de la Bahía de San Francisco, dijeron sus abogados.



Johnson culpa a Roundup por su sufrimiento y acusó a la compañía, recientemente adquirida por la alemana Bayer, de ocultar los peligros del herbicida. Monsanto rechaza enérgicamente las acusaciones y dice que el herbicida glifosato es seguro.

WATCH: Donald Trump’s victory had 5-year-old Muslim girl in tears

People in India huddled together in front of their television sets and sat tensed in front of their laptop screens watching the US President-elect Donald Trump sway his way through the crowd and give his ‘thank you’ speech to his supporters. “This politics stuff is nasty”, he had said then.

The election results were highly surprising with Trump sweeping most of the swing states and racing ahead of the required number of electoral college votes in no time. Hillary Clinton, who was widely expected to win, had to make a concession speech thanking her supporters.

However, a 5-year-old Muslim girl was among many who could not control their tears when Trump was declared the 45th president of the United States. She lives in New York with her uncle Adam Saleh, a Youtuber. Reema was sitting with Saleh when the US election results were declared, and he recorded her reaction before uploading it on Twitter.

He posted along with the video: “Reema is only 5 years old. She knows that we’re Muslim and started crying when she saw Donald Trump winning.”

During his election campaign, Trump had infamously made statements about banning all Muslims from the US, and just like many others of the Muslim community who are living in the country, the little girl probably got scared too, on the prospects of being driven away from her own home.

 “She cried because she would see my whole family being upset about Donald Trump winning and she knows that Donald Trump made racist remarks about Muslims,



” Saleh said to BuzzFeed. Reema’s tears melted many hearts on Twitter and a lot of people reached out to her there Although Reema was fine after a while,

Saleh reportedly said that she was afraid to go to school the next day. How did you react to the news? Tell us in the comments section below
