A group of Guatemalans who were deliberately infected with syphilis and gonorrhea in the 1940s have sued the U.S. government.

The Obama administration issued an apology last year about the tests, but the United States has refused to offer compensation to the victims and their families. Visit DemocracyNow.org for our interview with medical historian Susan Reverby, who uncovered the secret experiments.
