Corporations on Trial : Volcano Lusi - Muddy Justice (episode 5/5)
17/06/2009
Three years ago mud volcano Lusi erupted in Indonesia, swallowing up 12 villages and displacing at least 40,000 people.
International scientists and Indonesian activists allege that it was a man-made disaster, and that a gas-drilling operation owned by the country’s minister for Social Welfare was the cause of the eruption.
But lawyers are facing an uphill battle to gain compensation for the victim and as the courts continue to rule against their case, rumours of corruption abound.
Volcano Lusi - Muddy Justice can be seen on Al Jazeera from Wednesday June 17.
