At a press conference held on the occasion of the 38th anniversary of the Union Carbide disaster in Bhopal, leaders of five survivors organizations expressed hope that the state government will fulfill its promises of presenting correct figures of death and health damage caused by the disaster in the soon to be heard Curative petition before the Supreme Court. The leaders announced that they will be leaving for Delhi later in the day for their rally at Jantar Mantar tomorrow on the issue of additional compensation for the disaster from Union Carbide and Dow Chemical.
On 26th October 2021, four organizations of the survivors of the Union Carbide disaster in Bhopal today launched their 37-day campaign for justice and a life of dignity for the Bhopal survivors to commemorate the 37th anniversary of the disaster.
As the Bhopal Gas Disaster enters its 35th year, the ICJB is organizing its 6th annual Global Solidarity Fast. With this fast, you are expressing solidarity and sharing in their grief and pain of those who died December 3rd 1984, and those who continue to suffer now.
This fast also includes a fundraising goal. As it is the 35th anniversary, we are asking fasters to set a fundraising goal of $35 or $350. If you are not able to raise funds, we appreciate your support in fasting with us.
For over three decades, some of the poorest people on earth have fought a tireless struggle for their basic rights to justice, health and a life of dignity against one of the word’s richest multinational corporations. On April 25th, we have a major opportunity to show them that they are not alone in this longest fight for environmental justice.
With this fast, you are expressing solidarity and sharing in their grief and pain of those who died December 3rd 1984, and those who continue to suffer now.
