1984年發生的博帕爾慘劇於世界上留下了一個永不磨滅的烙印。25年後，當年化學品外洩的致命後遺如今仍然影響著當地居民。

更嚴重的是，發生事故的工地至今還未被清理乾淨，而超過100,000人的健康仍受到折磨。另外，聯合碳化物集團 (Union Carbide) 和陶氏化工 (Dow Chemicals) 集團等牽涉其中的公司更是逃避責任及阻礙受害者爭取賠償。

2009年12月2日乃博帕爾居民經歷此災難性事故後的第25年紀念。國際特赦組織將會和博帕爾的人們一起團結，以突顯自1984年洩漏事件以來從未間斷的人權爭取作用。

請站出來支持簽名運動和紀念那些從災難中受苦的人。按此 [4]處登記。

The 1984 Bhopal tragedy has left a devastating mark on the world that will not be forgotten. After 25 years, the impact of the deadly chemical leak still affects the local people.

To make matters worse, the factory site has not been cleaned up yet, and more than 100,000 people suffer from health problems. In addition, companies such as Union Carbide and Dow Chemicals that are involved with this tragedy have evaded accountability and obstructed the efforts of victims to secure reparation.

On December 2, 2009, the people of Bhopal will mark the 25th anniversary of the destructive incident. Amnesty International will act in solidarity with the people of Bhopal to highlight the ongoing human rights impacts of the 1984 leak.

Come out to help collect signatures and remember those who suffered from the disaster.
