ICOAST-POLLUTION-ENVIRONMENT-JUSTICE
People hold signs on September 29, 2008 in Abidjan as the trial of 12 people charged with involvement in the 2006 toxic waste pollution scandal in the Ivory Coast is set to start. 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. The placards read: (L) "Finavidet Avdt [an organisation for victims] Vridi 3 [a quarter of Abidjan] we demand the heads of the guilty" and (R) "We do not want a mock trial". AFP PHOTO / ISSOUF SANOGO
