A father whose son died of cancer – which a doctor said was likely caused by gas-flaring from BP’s oil fields in Iraq – told the company that "cancer is so common it’s like the flu".
Ali Hussein Julood documented his life for a BBC investigation which found high levels of cancer-linked pollutants in a BP oil field.
He died on 21 April of leukaemia with the oil giant BP saying it had offered condolences to the family.
Ali’s father, Hussein Julood, told the BBC that his son’s life was sacrificed for the company’s record profits.
