Families of Indonesian children who died after consuming a tainted cough syrup have demanded restitution at an Indonesian court, which has started hearing their class-action lawsuit against government agencies and pharmaceutical companies.
Some 200 children have died of acute kidney injury in Indonesia since last year and authorities said two dangerous ingredients – ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol – found in some syrup-based paracetamol medications have been linked to the deaths.

Al Jazeera’s Jessica Washington reports from Jakarta, Indonesia.
