2024: Madagascar residents sue Rio Tinto over lead and uranium poisoning of water
In April 2024, Madagascar residents sue Rio Tinto alleging that the company's mine contaminated nearby lakes and rivers with lead and uranium.
64 residents of the Anosi region accuse the mine, which is majority owned by Rio Tinto, of polluting lakes and waterways, affecting up to 15,000 people who use these water sources for drinking and domestic use. They say the contamination caused high levels of lead in their blood that they needed medical attention.
Rio Tinto denies the allegations and says its water management systems are safe.
