Region Halland has for the first time admitted that it violated the human rights of those affected in the sperm scandal. The admission came in a response to a lawsuit filed by the victims in January this year. However, the region does not want to pay compensation to the victims.
Region Halland argues that an admission is enough to compensate those affected and that they do not need to issue damages. Màxim del Río Diaz, a lawyer at Centrum för rättvisa, said it is good that the region admits violating their clients' rights but it is offensive that they do not want to pay compensation, stating that this is not taking responsibility for their actions.
