Giant human chains surrounded Coca-Cola and Pepsi factories in India

Giant human chains surrounded the Coca-Cola and Pepsi factories in India. The Popular Courts forced the “hydropyrates” to leave the country, denouncing that in these workshops water was extracted and contaminated. They also reproached the poorest citizens who were preventing access to drinking water. The women of the Plachimada tribe of Kerala had much to say in the fight against the large soft drinks companies.
