This video from Britain says about itself:
Meredith Alexander resigns from the Commission for Sustainable London 2012 – in protest at decision to allow Dow Chemicals to be a sponsor when they are still to resolve the legacy of the Bhopal disaster.
From daily The Morning Star in Britain:
Spotlight on Dow’s Olympic shame
INDIA: Hundreds of survivors of the Bhopal gas disaster held a “special Olympics” in the city today to shame London 2012 sponsor Dow Chemical Co.
They are demanding that it pay compensation for a 1984 chemical leak that killed around 15,000 people and poisoned a further 500,000.
The “Olympics” began with an opening ceremony of children with celebral palsy, partial paralysis and brain injuries.
Dow denies liability for the disaster and says a 1989 deal resolved the issue.
