Dow's Olympic sponsorships causes Indian outrage

  • 12 years ago
The naming of Dow Chemical as an official sponsor of the 2012 Olympic Games in London has caused outrage in India.

Dow Chemical is the parent company responsible for the world's worst industrial disaster, the Union Carbide gas leak in Bhopal India.

Twenty-seven years after the initial leak, residents in Bhopal still suffer from the long term medical complications of the Union Carbide disaster and are seeking justice, proper compensation, and medical care.

Al Jazeera's Sohail Rahman reports from Bhopal, India where the community still gathers every year to mourn the dead and demand justice.
