London, UK. 14th August 2017. A protester pours the bottles labelled as polluted water from the Kafue River in Zambia over the two men dressed in inflatable suits wearing masks of Vedanta owner Anil Agarwal and CEO Tom Albanese at the Foil Vedanta protest outside the AGM of Vedanta. The group accuse Vedanta of illegal mining in Goa, of increasing harassment, torture and false accusations against tribal activists in Nyamgiri, Odisha, who have used Indian laws to stop bauxite mining of their sacred mountain, eleven years of ruinous and continuing pollution by Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) in Zambia, where they say the company have fraudulently avoided taxes and failed to publish mandatory accounts and other offences. Vedanta is a FTSE 250 British mining company controlled and owned by Anil Agarwal and his family through a series of tax havens and holding companies and was launched on the Stock Exchange in 2003 with help from the UK’s Department for International Development (DfID) and Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) who continue to support it. Foil Vedanta call for the company to be delisted and shareholder activists went into the AGM to question its activities.
