Over the last 12 years, a strong anti-mine movement has developed in the Kashipur region after impacts such as destruction of spiritual sites, agriculture and the environment have been assessed. The December 2000 killing of three tribal activists by police has enraged the local population against the project and its corporate sponsors.

India: Alcan's troubled investments

Montreal, April 20th 2004 - Alcan, a Montreal-based multinational corporation is involved in the controversial bauxite mine and alumina refining megaproject «UAIL» in the State of Orissa, India. ALCAN'T IN INDIA is a Montreal solidarity campaign working directly on this issue.

Over the last 12 years, a strong anti-mine movement has developed in the Kashipur region after impacts such as destruction of spiritual sites, agriculture and the environment have been assessed. The December 2000 killing of three tribal activists by police has enraged the local population against the project and its corporate sponsors.

Having visited the people periodically over the last two years, filmmaker Angad Bhalla says: “In December 2000, village leaders of 22 out of the 24 «officially affected» villages passed a motion unequivocally opposing the mine. Alcan on the other hand has been unable to show me any documentation of peoples' alleged support for the project

CMAQ: Vie associative


Collectif à Québec: n'existe plus.

Impliquez-vous !

 

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
