If you've tried and failed to reach Corpwatch.org or CorpwatchIndia.org from where the Bhopal Hunger Strike fax action was being carried out, here's what you can do.
BHOPAL HUNGER STRIKE - CORPWATCH WEBSITES NOBBLED?
The CorpwatchIndia site, through which a mass fax-action is being carried out in support of the Bhopal Hunger Strikers (latest update follows this article) has mysteriously gone out of action.
People trying today to send faxes have found the site unavailable today. Uh, oh. Echoes of the indymedia site in Genoa which mysteriously went down during the G8 talks a year ago.
Paranoia?
Maybe, but anyway, if you can't get onto Corpwatchindia.org you can still email your message through to the following.
