Greenpeace activists protest at the entrance of the Dow Chemicals factory in Tsing Yi, China today. They demand that Dow admits liability for the Bhopal gas disaster and they insist that company takes steps to clean up the polluted site of the abandoned factory, which still leaks poison into the groundwater of local residents.
Dow-Carbide bought Union Carbide in 2001 and has refused to bear the corporate liability for the gas disaster. It has failed to adequately compensate the victims, to provide them with proper medical care, clean water and to clean up the contaminated factory site.
