DEMAND ACTION NOW FOR THE BHOPAL SURIVIVORS

In March 2008 some 50 representatives of the Bhopal survivors, including children, began the long walk - moimage re than 800km - to New Delhi to seek a meeting with the Prime Minister.

They are now in New Delhi hoping for an opportunity to discuss a resolution of their major and long-standing concerns over the clean-up and remediation of the Bhopal site, and ongoing problems in relation to health, lack of clean water and lack of information. (Source : Amnesty)
