Nemagon pesticide used in banana plantations in Central America, has killed 2,500 people and affected the health of 35,000. The president of the Association of Workers, and Former Workers with Claims against Nemagon (ASOTRAEXDAN), Victorino Espinales, filed the case before the Permanent Peoples’ Tribunal (PPT) held in Lima, Peru. Espinales attended the hearings of the PPT on behalf of the organization “Another World is Possible” to sue three chemical corporations responsible for the production of the pesticide, which chemical composition is diobromo-chloropropane. The aim was to “accuse the Nicaraguan government of failing to protect the citizens” from the damages caused by nemagon.
