Una immane strage... Posted @withregram • @redfishstream Today we remember the victims of the Bhopal gas leak, known as the world's worst industrial disaster, which killed thousands and exposed over half a million people to toxic gas around this time in 1984.⁠ ⁠ The disaster reportedly resulted from negligence, design flaws, understaffing, absence of maintenance, and lack of training. Normal measures that should've been taken weren't, just to increase profits at the expense of people's safety. The first official and conservative death toll was 2,259, but other estimates have put the number as high as 20,000. Tens of thousands who were exposed to the gas but survived were severely disabled and many continue to die prematurely today. . . #bhopal #smashthecapitalism #stopexploited (presso Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIYVpFrgzBl/?igshid=17p02lyb6om1r

WEST PAPUAN GENOCIDE AND ECONOMIC MARGINALISATION. ANONYMOUS - Anonymous Free West Papua Australia Some of the world's largest transnational mining corporations have been active in exploiting West Papua's oil and minerals, including Union Oil, Amoco, Agip, Conoco, Phillips, Esso, Texaco, Mobil, Shell, Petromer Trend Exploration, Atlantic Richfield, Sun Oil and Freeport (USA); Oppenheimer (South Africa); Total (France); Ingold (Canada); Marathon Oil, Kepala Burung (UK); Dominion Mining, Aneka Tambang, BHP, Cudgen RZ, and CRA (Australia). An example of the level of profits involved is that of Petromer Trend and Conoco, which have produced 300 million barrels of oil from the field at Sele near Sorong, valued at $4.5 billion. Freeport mines 78,000 tonnes of ore/day, plus additional overburden. Virtually all of this is dumped as mine waste and tailings into the rivers surrounding Freeport, making the water toxic and thick with silt, smothering and killing all plant life along the previously fertile river banks. The river is now almost entirely devoid of any life. They also pile toxic waste rock thousands of feet high at dumpsites in the surrounding area. West Papua is a region rich in natural resources and the biggest source of tax revenue for Indonesia, under military rule, it is a place where activists are jailed, tortured, disappeared and assassinated. It is estimated that over 500,000 West Papuans have been killed by the Indonesian Military in this ongoing genocide. Despite well documented reports of the atrocities occurring inside West Papua the world remains silent and complicit.
