Protests Planned in London Over Weekend
With the company being headquartered in London and listed on the London Stock Exchange, the city has long been a centre of campaigns against the metal and mining giant’s global activities both by NGOs and diaspora groups.
A protest is set to take place outside the Indian embassy in London over the weekend, as pressure on Sterlite and authorities in India and the U.K. mounts following the killing of at least 12 people in police firing in Thoothukudi over the past two days and the ruling by the Madras High Court to cease construction on Unit II of the plant.
