London, UK. 5th August 2016. People attending the Vedanta AGM walk past protesters representing communities around the world whose lives have been damaged by the mining giant, 69% owned by billionaire chairman Anil Agarwal and his family with a noisy protest outside and some holding shares to attend the meeting. The company was found guilty of water pollution in Zambia poisoning up to 40,000 people in 2006, and vast taxation frauds have been uncovered. In India they lost a ten year battle to mine the Niyamgiri mountain, sacred to an vulnerable indigenous community, for bauxite but are lobbying the Modi government to reverse the decision.
