PARIS (AP) — A French support group is seeking equal compensation for the families of French victims of the crash of Air France Flight 447 after a Brazilian judge awarded more than $1 million to a Brazilian who died in the flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris last year.

Jean-Baptiste Audousset, president of the Association Mutual Aid and Solidarity AF447, says the decision this week by a Brazilian judge ordering Air France to pay the Brazilian victim is "human."

All 228 people abroad AF446 died when the plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off Brazil's northeastern coast June 1, 2009. The aircraft's black boxes have not been found and no definite cause for the crash has been determined.

Audousset spoke Friday.
