Bhopal campaigners condemn 'insulting' sentences for men convicted over disaster

from the Guardian. Once again, convicted corporate criminals face a different justice system than do ordinary people. I've noticed that justice for the ruling class criminals always uses the tactic of delay in the legal system. The crimes were committed over 25 years ago, and these criminals' lives have gone on as normal since then. The same tactic applies to violations of labor laws by corporations. The same tactic was used against Exxon-Mobile after its oil spill in Alaska waters. And I expect the same justice will be served against BP.
"These men have been convicted of the equivalent offence of causing a road traffic accident. The government of India has shown it cares more about the corporations than the people."
