London, UK. 21st May, 2016. Foil Vedanta campaigners interrupt a session in the CLore Ballroom of the Royal Festival Hall in protest against Vedanta's sponsorship of the Jaipur Literature Festival. They say Vedanta, the most hated company on Earth, causing pollution, illness, displacement, poverty and deaths by its mining operations, sometimes criminal, in India, Zambia, South Africa and Australia, is attempting to whitewash its image by sponsorship of the festival. After interrupting a presentation they remained at the entrance to the area holding posters and handing out leaflets. Peter Marsh
