Coca-Cola sued over bottling plant 'terror campaign'

Julian Borger in Washington
Saturday July 21, 2001
The Guardian

''Coca-Cola distanced itself from its bottling plants yesterday. "The Coca-Cola company does not own or operate any bottling plants in Colombia," a corporate spokesman, Rafael Fernandez said.

"We deny any wrongdoing regarding human rights or any other unlawful activities in Colombia or anywhere else in the world."

Daniel Kovalik, a US steelworkers' lawyer, said that Coca-Cola had stepped in to curb human rights abuses in Guatemala after three union leaders had been killed in the 1980s. That intervention showed that the company could stop the killings if it chose to, he argued.''

Coca-Cola: Continuing the Battle in Kerala, India

''More than a year after local people started complaining of massive extraction of ground water by the bottling unit of Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages Ltd. and the consequent depletion and contamination of well water in Plachimada village in Palakkad district, the Kerala State Health Department has come up with data that validate the charges. The medical officer of the Public Health Center in the village recently informed the Perumatty Grama Panchayat that people should not drink water from the three wells neighboring the Coca-Cola plant.''
