ICOAST-JUSTICE-ENVIRONMENT-POLLUTION
General view of the courthouse in Abidjan taken September 29, 2008 during the trial of 12 people (L) charged with involvement in the 2006 toxic waste pollution scandal in the Ivory Coast. In mid-August 2006 the Probo Koala ship unloaded in Abidjan more than 500 tonnes of a highly toxic mixture of oil residue and caustic soda used to rinse out the ship's tanks. The toxic sludge, brought into Ivory Coast by Dutch-based multinational trading company Trafigura, killed 16 people and caused an estimated 95,000 people to seek medical attention.
