ICOAST-POLLUTION-ENVIRONMENT-JUSTICE
The legs of a child whose body is covered in lesions dangle over a sign which reads, in part "Victims...call for a true, fair and impartial judgement" on September 29, 2008 in Abidjan. According to the child's parents, the skin condition is a result of toxic waste dumped in August 2006 in different parts of Abidjan. The trial of 12 people charged with involvement in the 2006 toxic waste pollution scandal in the Ivory Coast is set to go ahead on September 29, according to court documents. The 12 are charged with "poisoning or complicity to poison" in the illicit dumping of 500 tonnes of caustic soda and petroleum residues across more than a dozen open-air rubbish tips around the commercial capital Abidjan.
