Forced evictions in Orissa, India
Loading...
Uploaded by AmnestyInternational on Jan 27, 2012
Police and security guards forcibly removed people from land earmarked for a Vedanta toxic waste dump.
Research by Amnesty International and other local and international groups documents the serious and continuing pollution caused by the refinery's operations. Despite the string of decisions against Vedanta, the company has failed to remedy the pollution.
"This decision vindicates the ongoing peaceful protests by the local communities near Lanjigarh to prevent this expansion from going ahead as it would further pollute their lands and water sources," said Amnesty International's India researcher Ramesh Gopalakrishnan.
"The Indian authorities have remained silent on the issues of cleaning up the refinery and monitoring the health of local communities. They must act on this now," he added.

And we praise our Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as a great honest and non-corrupt politician. Shame on our leadership and shame on us for electing such people. Unfortunately this is applicable to every political party.

It would not happen in a first world country but we accept it for the third world. Thank you Amnesty for sticking up for the rights of all humans.
