Italy's top administrative court,
the Council of State, on Friday suspend an experiment on six
macaque monkeys that is being done as part of research project
by the universities of Turin and Parma on human vision deficits.
The suspension is provisional pending a ruling by the Lazio
regional administrative court (TAR).
The Council of State said the onus was now on the health
ministry to show that there is no alternative to the "invasive
experimentation" on the animals.
