International UK said it was \"deeply shocking\" that London Olympic organisers chose Dow Chemical as a sponsor, despite its links to a company accused of responsibility in one of the deadliest chemical leaks in history.\u003cbr/\u003eKate Allen believes that it is \"absolutely clear\" that the responsibility of dealing with the aftermath of the deadly 1984 gas leak in India lies with Dow Chemical.\u003cbr/\u003eDow bought Union Carbide 16 years after the disaster in Bhopal, India, which killed an estimated 15,000 people. \u003cbr/\u003eIt says it's not responsible for the catastrophe.\u003cbr/\u003eIn addition to those killed it is claimed that as many as half a (m) million more were sickened after 1984 when gas leaked out of a Union Carbide plant in the city of Bhopal.\u003cbr/\u003eDow bought Union Carbide in 2001 and has said legal claims from the disaster have been resolved. \u003cbr/\u003eCritics however argue that the purchase makes the US-based company responsible for lingering contamination and other issues.\u003cbr/\u003eAmongst other things Dow is providing an 11 (m) million US dollar decorative wrap that will be installed around London's Olympic Stadium. \u003cbr/\u003eAn email statement sent to AP by Dow Chemical said they \"have sympathy for the plight of those who are victims of the tragedy\" but that those \"trying to attach Dow to the incident are misinformed or misguided.\"\u003cbr/\u003eArtist Samar Jodha has focused on the chemical disaster for an art installation currently based at the Amnesty UK headquarters in East London. \u003cbr/\u003eWithin a 40-foot black container are evocative holographic images of the deserted chemical plant alongside a huge list of some of the victims of the tragedy. \u003cbr/\u003eEerie sounds play from speakers and dry ice occasionally billows through the darkened space.  \u003cbr/\u003e\"I'm not out there to nail Dow Chemical or any individual, but I think the message is very clear that start taking responsibility and have some ethics, it's not about bottom line,\" said Jodha. \u003cbr/\u003eAfter pressure and protests from lobby groups, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) and the Indian sports ministry had earlier written to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) asking for Dow to be dropped as a sponsor of the London games.\u003cbr/\u003eBut the IOC has maintained the position that Dow was not responsible for the gas leak and the company would continue as an Olympic sponsor.\u003cbr/\u003eAllen doesn't agree with the defence of Dow Chemical offered by Olympics organisers. \u003cbr/\u003e\"We at Amnesty have been making this issue one of our top priorities for many weeks now, since we first heard about the deal with Dow and since we first heard Lord Coe say that Dow bore no responsibility,\" Allen said.\u003cbr/\u003eUnion Carbide paid 470 (m) million US dollars in compensation to the families of those killed or injured. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Indian government is seeking an additional 1.7 (b) billion US dollars for victims. \u003cbr/\u003eDow Chemical have said that the solution for the people concerned \"rests in the hands of the Indian central and state governments.\"\u003cbr/\u003eLondon, UK - 19 July 2012\u003cbr/\u003e1.

That hasn't happened for the people of Bhopal, children are still being born in those conditions and with deformities, people are still suffering and families have lost loved ones.
