Environmental campaigners from Foil Vedanta protest outside the Supreme Court where British mining company Vedanta Resources is appealing High Court and Court of Appeal rulings that 1,826 Zambian villagers may have their case regarding pollution against the company's subsidiary Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) heard in the UK.
