Three public health officials have gone on trial in Canada in connection with one of the country’s biggest ever medical scandals.
The officials pleaded not guilty to charges relating to the infection of more than 1,000 people with HIV in the 1980s and 1990s.
Another 20,000 contracted hepatitis C after receiving tainted blood infusions during that period.
More than 3,000 people have died. Many of the victims were haemophiliacs.
A number of those affected and relatives of people who died after receiving the blood were in court to see the case begin.
