Justice delayed is Justice denied

Bhopal voices: 'Justice denied'

A court in the Indian city of Bhopal has sentenced eight people to two years each in jail over a gas plant leak that killed thousands of people in 1984.

The convictions are the first since the disaster at the Union Carbide plant - the world's worst industrial accident. Bhopal residents describe the impact of the disaster and give their reaction to the sentencing.

Justice delayed is justice denied. Two years prison sentence after 25 years is too little too late. People in Bhopal have been waiting for justice for too long, but they are also waiting for concrete action to help those still suffering.
