I wonder if buying and aiding Carbide, killer of over 600000 people in Bhopal & a declared absconder from Indian courts, amounts to sedition

Today, as the #BhopalGasDisaster turns 38, we learn that Carbide used dummy firms to discreetly trade in India after it was declared absconder. Several govt firms bought Carbide products through backdoor channel for 14 yrs. #Dow-Carbide's toxic legacy continues.

International Campaign for Justice in Bhopal

This 3rd Dec, the 1984 Bhopal disaster enters its 39th year. It remains world's worst industrial disaster.

So far, over 600000 killed by Dow-Carbide's poisons & 100000 live with contaminated groundwater in Bhopal.

Over 40 Members of Parliament in the UK sign an EDM endorsing survivors justice campaign.

Indian govt is pursuing cases against Dow-Carbide in the Supreme Court. Survivors call: Revise death & injury related data to reflect the disaster's real magnitude.

Did you ever want to know why people join a #CitizenScience project? In our recent paper we looked for the reasons why people join our project "#Butterfly Monitoring Germany". One main reason is the wish to preserve the natural environment and to contribute to scientific knowledge

Massive #protests in #China right now. Getting videos in from friends of friends right now in Beijing, but most have faces and I cannot share them. People are scared and social media is being scrubbed. Please pray for their safety.
