The US says it is not pressuring India to drop claims against an American corporation linked to the 1984 Bhopal chemical explosion which killed thousands of people.

Leaked emails revealed by Indian media this week suggest senior US officials told India to end its "noise" about the chemical disaster, in order to secure loans from the World Bank.

In North America, Bhopal Supporters Send Origami Crows to Prime Minister Singh

On August 24, symbolic crows were sent to the U.S. Indian Consulates in San Francisco, Chicago, Houston, New York and the Embassy in D.C.

Crows for Bhopal

A group of San Francisco Bhopal activists gathered Monday to create origami crows, in solidarity with the Bhopalis' unmet demand for an Empowerment Commission.  In May 2008 Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's Minister of State Prithviraj Chavan stated:

"The Central Government will take the initiative in speedily working out the modalities for setting up such a Commission [the Empowered Commision] by subsuming the various Committees on different rehabilitation aspects set up by Supreme Court, the Government of India, the Government of M.P. and the High Court of M.P."
