Bhopal Gas Tragedy Survivors visit
Dynamic youth leaders, 16 year old Sarita Malviya and Rafat Kahn, will travel from their homes in Bhopal, India to the US and Canada to mark the 25th Anniversary of the Bhopal Chemical Disaster. The Union Carbide Chemical Disaster in Bhopal, India has killed more than 23,000 people due to a catastrophic 1984 gas leak and ongoing water contamination in the central Indian city. Travelling with the teens is Rachna Dingra and Satinath Sarangi of the International Campaign for Justice in Bhopal, an international coalition of survivors and supporters with a worldwide presence. The campaign is calling for 'No More Bhopals', more effective regulation of the chemical industry, and greater rights for marginalized communities to protect them from chemical harm. The International Campaign for Justice in Bhopal is a coalition of survivors group and allies around the world working for justice and a life of dignity for the survivors of the world's worst industrial disaster, and for a toxic free future for all.
