Urgent Call to Action

Submitted by SfB.Website on Thu, 06/10/2010 - 09:58

ACTION ALERT - TAKE ACTION NOW!

The world's worst industrial disaster has been reduced to the equivalent of a road accident. Seven persons, who knowingly approved cost-cutting measures compromising the safety and disaster mitigation in the plant, who knowingly approved an inferior technology that resulted in this disaster, have been let off on bail. Meanwhile, the the real perpetrators [Warren Anderson] are getting away scot free.

People around the world are angry. Angry at the Indian Government for betraying its people; angry that the world's largest democracy has succumbed to the power of the corporation.

LET THIS ANGER AND OUTRAGE NOT GO TO WASTE.

Take action for justice in Bhopal, and to reclaim our democracy.

Send a fax to the PM and let him know what you feel.
