30 fishermen in Shandong sue US giant for compensation over disaster
US attorneys acting on behalf of 30 fishermen in Shandong province filed a lawsuit against ConocoPhillips in the Southern District Court of Texas on Monday (Tuesday, Beijing time).
The move is the latest attempt by people affected by oil spills in Bohai Bay in June last year to win compensation from the US company allegedly responsible for the disaster.
