Rights activists in Peru condemn corporations
Human rights activists 'ethically and morally' condemned 24 European corporations on Friday, accusing them of environmental contamination, labor exploitation and selling dangerous pesticides in Latin America.
The panel, known as the Permanent People's Tribunal, accused 24 companies _ including Royal Dutch Shell PLC, Spanish oil company Repsol YPF and German pharmaceutical and chemical company Bayer AG _ at a symbolic trial held on the sidelines of a biennial Latin America-European Union summit.
