f.y.i. ##### People's Union for Democratic Rights Press Statement The Definiton of Injustice: The Bhopal Gas Murders PUDR believes that the latest judgment on the Bhopal gas leak of 1984 is a complete farce and absolutely criminal in the gap between the enormity of the crime and the punishment meted out to the offenders, a direct reflection of the gap between the social location of the victims and the accused. But more than the lower judiciary, which delivered the verdict, it is the Supreme Court that is at fault. It’s the Supreme Court that settled for paltry compensation, and also reduced the charges from culpable homicide not amounting to murder to death due to criminal negligence under which the sentencing was done.

And in all these years the government ignored the victims.
