Remember Bhopal

Maybe it's getting boring to say this, but we're still at sea. Still waiting. The water is still running out, so hopefully we'll get a water barge today. We need water to survive: to drink, to cook, to clean. And I can tell you this, a shower would be a good idea for everybody on board. But despite all this, we keep it up. Injustice is being done here and we have to fight this. We are inspired by the survivors of Bhopal who have been fighting for justice for nineteen long years.

Because the chance was very high that we were not able to join the 'Global Day of Action against Corporate Crime', we started thinking of a way how we could participate anyhow. We created a banner saying 'Remember Bhopal'. Besides that we collected all the flags of the different nationalities on board, saying we support the survivors of Bhopal. People from everywhere are remembering the horrible night nineteen years ago and justice should be done. The whole crew of the Rainbow Warrior was standing behind this message.

That afternoon we got a confirmation that a water barge was heading our way. Finally some good news! They would arrive between seven and eight o'clock at night. This would probably mean they would be here much later - which is what happened. Around eleven the barge showed up. We were all very excited. This would give us some rest, more energy to face the situation we are in right now. If the survivors of Bhopal can keep up the fight even after nineteen years, we should take an example from that. The crew from the Rainbow Warrior is in spirit with the people from Bhopal.
