February 2008

The WSO had been calling for a public inquiry into the Air India tragedy since 1987. While we are happy that the inquiry finally did take place, even if it was almost 20 years late, we were very disappointed to observe the lack of due process during the Inquiry. The WSO has now filed its final submission to the Commission, and cited numerous instances in which the Commission refused to hear relevant and important testimony. See the full press release or read the Closing Submission by the WSO to the Air India Inquiry.
