Hearing for Unocal Abuses in Burma Suit Delayed
Reuters, Monday, June 09, 1997 at 18:34
LOS ANGELES, June 9 (Reuter) - Lawyers for activists hoping to
block Unocal Corp's development of a natural gas project in Burma
postponed a hearing scheduled for Monday in U.S. District Court in Los
Angeles.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs asked a judge to push the hearing
back to September or October, but the judge did not set a specific date.
The $1.2 billion pipeline project is to carry natural gas from
offshore Burma to Thailand beginning next year.
The government of Burma, also known as Myanmar, has come under
international criticism for its alleged human right abuses.
