Bhopal campaigners win key prize
Two Indian women have won a prestigious environmental prize for their battle on behalf of the
victims of the Bhopal gas disaster 20 years ago.
Rashida Bee and Champa Devi Shukla won the Goldman Environmental Prize and will share $125,000.
The women said they would use the money to set up their own award in India for fighting
corporate crime.
More than 20,000 people died when toxic gas leaked from the Union Carbide pesticide plant on 3
December, 1984.
The two women and five other activists will be honoured in San Francisco on Monday.
The award, often referred to as the Nobel prize for environment, is given to each of six
regions, each winning $125,000.
