Remark	"We never want to see another Bhopal" - Bhopali survivors December 3rd, 2004, will mark twenty years since the people of Bhopal awoke from their sleep, choking, near-blinded, to scenes of unimaginable horror and suffering. The count of those affected is well over 150,000 to date, including 12-15,000 killed. The ongoing efforts of both Union Carbide and its new owner Dow Chemical to evade their pending liabilities in Bhopal represent a classic case of corporate crime gone unpunished and unchecked. Join people around the world to observe this call for Global Day of Action around Dec 3rd and call for clean-up of the contamination left behind by Carbide (Dow) and accountability for people who continue to suffer. "Beyond the initial horror and devastation of the gas tragedy is the spreading damage of environmental and genetic assault. At stake is more than fair compensation and long-term rehabilitation for the afflicted - "Bhopal" has become a rallying cry for post 9/11 concerns about chemical industry security and industrial pollution. Ultimately, the horrific gas leak at Union Carbide (now Dow Chemical) imposed a "chemical trespass" of the human body that demands greater regulation by governments and responsibility from multinational corporations."
