On Monday, June 4th, 2010, KBF members Akash, Gautama and Anna went with activists from the International Campaign for Justice in Bhopal to the office of the law firm that represents Warren Anderson, the former CEO of Union Carbide, the company that is responsible for the Bhopal gas disaster. Anderson is currently wanted in India for culpable homicide. We went to deliver a summons for his arrest, and to read out a statement asking him to come out and support the movement for justice. However, we were not allowed into the building by the building security guards and the police, or even to deliver our letters to the office, so we read out the statement in front of the press that had gathered there.
