Dow sues survivors of disaster for protesting Dow's involvement. [ ] "In 2002 Dow Chemical filed suit in an Indian Court against 200 survivors of the Bhopal disaster who peacefully demonstrated outside a Dow plant in Bombay. Dow is seeking $10,000 for “lost work,” even though only one employee came out to speak to the protestors during the 2 hour protest. Bhopal was struggling with widespread poverty even before the disaster, and the $10,000 sought by Dow, although only a fraction of its daily revenue, would amount to more than 10 years income for the women."
