it is the lack of protection. against sexual relations around the age of eleven or twelve but there's no control or hygiene or. that is why there are so much cancer amongst women. i would like to tell those shameless people from texaco that they are responsible for what my family and all of us who live in amazonia are going through. for me all this is a tragedy. and this also. because of them i'm dying a slow death and i don't want to live like this. i never imagined i would get sick because of living in that town without knowing where to go i have a lot of room against those shameless people who really don't feel the pain of the

people. they have only beautiful v. was and great cars while others have nothing to eat i don't want to live like this it's very painful many times i want to die. with it and you can see more clearly here that i'm in. all this is oil and there's even more. the deeper i dig the more i will find.

that i made the move to this house thinking that the toxic pit had been cleaned out they had been told that a good job. when it is very hot oil producers gasses in the soil. and then the residents absorb it. all is clear is the only thing texaco really did here. to cover up everything. absolutely nothing else. these people say. so but i'm trying to defend the company it's just old lice everything they do is based on lies slander and economic profits.

at the trial the natives showed that they would not be trampled on so easily they had been cheated their hold life they've been told of oil was good for their health that they should spread it on their skin to keep the most skeeters away now they don't believe what they are told so easily.

this is the biggest environmental trial in world history he's been held until two d. you know a well known provincial town of. gori told me yeah. i think that mr vo is the. number of documents in this case. comes to some one hundred forty two thousand pages and then we really have a whole library here that. you know i believe that

for the participants it is a stoic moment. for us however it's just another trial. we're. going to bring this forward to force this american company to stand trial as a future it's hasn't been done before and a so-called third world country it's never. been fifteen years i mean i've literally grown up and grown old workgroups queries and there is a scenario where could go on another five or ten years because of what i would call a complete abuse of the judicial process by shirt i mean they basically pay warriors to do away as much as they possibly care because they know when the final decision kerman's the chances are very very high that they're going to lose this case and lose it on a massive scale and waste it he said you know i will i must sometimes mr lawyer

prove to me that this person has died of cancer caused by texaco oil the put is the well you can prove that one particular case of cancer was specifically caused by texaco he's not but and who had been operating here for over twenty years in the same ones who had caused the destruction texaco. that would make the. most of the highest level there was there any environmental regulation the history of the world so that's real money even to an oil company every sixteen billion dollars is almost. when your when your profits of show or. a company will not put up with blackmail because for the company and for me it is blackmail so they have an expert asking for unrealistic figures such as eight

billion or sixteen billion or let them name whatever somewhere asking for we're talking about an expert to prevent the damage just claims that the sole responsible party is texaco but he forgets the petroecuador has been operating here for twenty years. state owned ecuador was the want to inherit all texaco facilities and infrastructure as soon as the company left the country after its contract had expired unfortunately as a reality shows petro ecuador also inherited the bad practices of the past. if we had any kind of alleged responsibility it stopped existing eighteen to twenty years ago when petro ecuador took charge of all tech school facilities.

petro ecuador has cost eight hundred eighty two oil spills in six years why don't they do anything against petroecuador look if they were interested in people's health and in nature then why are they doing nothing against petroecuador. why only against the multinational company that left twenty years ago and has been acquitted by the government i'll tell you why it's what americans call the deep pocket. that's the only possible explanation. their strategy is simple they left ecuador in one thousand nine hundred two. we only began the trial in the us in one thousand nine hundred three when they couldn't accuse the state oh company of anything. in the past eighteen years of course the state company has done many things. that has caused damage and spills. in clear text of its

guilt. made to the plant nearby and then it happened they forgot to turn off.

their always spills one every month. petroecuador says it's not responsible for the spill caused here that is what petroecuador says and just leave things as they are. feel. the water is polluted our workers and why do you wash your clothes here on not only do we have nowhere else to wash them this is the only creek and this is where all of us who live here come the end of it there are always cool spills from oil well nine from four from say new blanca there are three oil wells that cause the spills into the stream we go to a quad core and they don't care they say there are no leaks they say there was no problem. that.

is good but this is a will. never run it from the plant spills they end up in a property.

their own thing and bought a body think it in my compound whatever they claim there was no pollution here. for a bit that way it is pure oil. they say they will clean up and there will be no pollution. how will be clean everything in order to clear out the pollution will they turn our houses upside down and clean beneath them to eliminate the pollution. and i think it is at the moment they don't care about other peoples lives. in san carlos and many have died from cancer caused by pollution. in. eighteen twenty year old girls have died leaving orphans behind.

two of us have cancer my daughter and i. are at. one of them and there was pollution everywhere in order to have no pollution production would have to stop. at this stage of ecuador owes its citizens and it must rest of the environmental and social damage caused upon them from living in oil producing areas and they knew what i would mean you don't know

what. however it will drilling cannot stop. why because our country has needs social needs. despite its mineral wealth ecuador is one of the poorest countries. with. seventeen point five billion dollars. in the past corrupt governments used oil income for the. oil producing. to die a slow death. into pollution and misery. there is no state here and we don't even have the basics but the oil companies. every

day. electricity. development of a better life. companies drill oil every day. but they don't. know how to. think of themselves.

if you go into the places where. it's going to have thousand times. they care about nobody. and in one thousand nine hundred eighty two when i got here i was one of the first ones to arrive and there was absolutely nothing only a mountain. when one day i went to work in a road construction and when i returned i found over five tractors destroying my farm. when i went to petroecuador to protest they insulted my mother and told me to get out of here he treated me in an awful way there was nothing i could do.

but we peasants have no power. the military comes in and beats us up and nothing is done about it. in the end we're better off dying. they are terrorists armed with rifles and dynamite. they have a stablished

a reign of terror. thinking that the government will continue to put up with them. they won't have their way sars the anarchy is over the party is over we will apply the law order for the well being of ecuadorians i will not hesitate. the cause is a revolt by the area's residents who put a barricades and closed the roads clearing to nikko cooke oil drilling plants one of the country's largest oil fields.

is in trouble of course the group that they entered the houses violently and dragged people out of their homes. one of the other them hands up for you every one on the fluor women and children when they would have got promises they grabbed us from behind and started pushing us and dragging us and then i told them why are you doing this reality i think you must have all of them. in person and when they punched me kicks me. when they were finished with me they threw me to the floor they grabbed me by the

feet and threw me head first i think it was like i was a football you know. they threw some top of another with i think they used to throw gas but they beat us everywhere all the time they trampled me and when i looked like this i couldn't even see because of all the soldiers. you couldn't see the ground they were for over five hundred soldiers and then i said what have i done but of these people done for you to beat them like let's. beat first of all i cannot allow a group of vandals and terrorists traitors of their own country to still look brand of ecuadorians and do such things. that most of them are paid murderers terrorists who welcomed the security forces with bullets and dynamite the security forces had to react and there were photos in the media of the presumably show there

was violent treatment that was not the case they had to defend themselves because they were being attacked. and they took them to jail and kept them in for three to four months saying they were terrorists with the look here that this is a terrorist act committed by petroecuador against nature. not the us armed with already nine pipes go through here from nine carrying large quantities of oil and only leave us is a crude oil spill to knock communities but not money and things of this.

in advance. of them. in our case whether our government is a left wing or right wing we always receive the same violent repression he gets because we live in an oil. producing area where natural resources are exploited you know but nothing is invested here. in reno nevada where a redneck. a mine from my biggest regret is going to be speaking to me and i fail over here like a lady the girl. it

. that.
