2) Bhopal: 23 Years Without Justice

A talk by Ryan Bodanyi, a national leader in the Campaign for Justice in 
Bhopal.

Tuesday, September 4 at 6pm in 4-231 
(http://whereis.mit.edu/map-jpg?mapterms=4-231&mapsearch=go).

After midnight in December 1984, a badly designed chemical plant leaked 
more than 27 tons of toxic methyl isocyanate gas into the sleeping city 
of Bhopal, India - killing over 7,000 people within a few days. Despite 
a long term death toll exceeding 22,000, Dow Chemical and its current 
subsidiary Union Carbide refuse to clean up the site or appear in Indian 
courts to face criminal charges. Passionate advocate Ryan Bodanyi is 
making a rare trip to Boston to share his experiences in India and the 
US working with the survivors of the world's worst chemical disaster. 
Bodanyi began his advocacy for the survivors in college and has 
committed the past 5 years to building a grassroots movement in the 
United States to win a clean up, medical care and justice alongside the 
1984 disaster survivors.

Samosas will be served.
