One of the longest-standing fight for justice by survivors of an industrial disaster waged against a transnational corporation, the Bhopal struggle epitomizes the worst abuses of globalization and the challenges involved in holding corporations accountable.
The Union Carbide Chemical Disaster in Bhopal, India has killed more than 23,000 people due to a catastrophic gas leak and ongoing water contamination in this central Indian city. This year marks the 25th Anniversary of the horrific night in 1984 when a toxic cloud of methyl isocyanate enveloped the sleeping city. The Anniversary is a celebration by Bhopal survivor groups and their allies of 25 years of courage in the face of corporate crime.
Two senior activists Rachna Dingra and Satinath Sarangi and two Bhopal Disaster survivors, will be touring the U.S. and Canada in April and May. The tour is being hosted by the International Campaign for Justice in Bhopal. ICJB is a coalition of survivor groups and allies around the world working for justice and a life of dignity for the survivors of the Bhopal Disaster, and for a toxic free future for us all.
