What Total are responsible for (re-written)
Totalitarian Oil are responsible for:
Funding one of the worst regimes in the world-providing them with $750 million per year while they use rape as a weapon, torture political prisoners and carry out ethnic genocide
Using slave labour on their pipeline (Total recently came to an out-of-court settlement with 6 villagers who had Total in court for using them as slaves)
Employing Burmese soldiers (including child soldiers) to guard their pipeline and not investigating or pressing for investigations into the abuses comitted by the soldiers in the area-including the rape last year of a 14 year old by 16 soldiers guarding the pipeline
Providing the French government with millions of dollars a year in response for France vetoing all EU resolutions against Burma
This is the result of the genocide directly funded by Total Oil
