[news] India Campaign against Coke and Pepsi

[Resist!ca]

"On Jan 15, 2005 the community at Plachimada celebrated 1000 days of resistance against Coca-Cola. For the past year the Coke plant at Plachimada has been closed because of the determined resistance of Advasi women who started [an] anti-Coke agitation and the Perumatty Panchayat (Local Government) [which] served notice to the company and went to the High Court." "Coke and Pepsi are threating the fundamental right to life by mining ground water and creating local water famine. They are also threatening the right to life by selling hazardous soft drinks loaded with toxic chemicals."
